Let Us Miscommunicate By Text
I decide to text because texts are never misunderstood.
I lose my best friend and my husband in the same day.
Not to each other, just to me.
So the next time I have something important to say
I call the person up and try to tell them on the phone.
She ends up hanging up on me.
MOM!
Third time is a charm
For I learn things at least three times before I get it.
I go to their house and burn a cat-shaped haystack.
Neighbors come out and hold me until the police come.
Frankly I am not great at communication apparently.
So now I am sitting in my jail cell writing day by day
Wondering if I am reaching anybody
Not really caring
Just wondering….
