Blind Insecurity

"BLIND INSECURITY"


“what’s up?” I asked her.
“I was asleep but I heard
the phone.”
“your phone volume is up? 
why do you keep it silent 
when you’re here with me 
but loud over there where 
you lay?”
“are you starting already?”
“call me later when you’re 
awake. I didn’t mean to 
wake you up.”
“I’m up… and by the way, 
I could ask you the same 
thing.”
“I’ll talk to you later.”
“you don’t have to talk to
me at all!”

a few hours later…

she said, “I called you.
what happened?”
“I was on the phone.”
“with who ?!?!”
“are you starting already?”
“so you can ask me 
questions but I can’t ask 
you?”
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 
ha ha ha
“you see? responses can 
start problems. lesson 
learned.”
she was quick: “there’s
no lesson here, I didn’t 
do s??t.”
