Our Morning Telephone Call
I say words
my friend says words
neither of us responds to the other words
we are always waiting for a pause
so we can say more words
the other is not hearing
it is our usual phone call
I say more words
she says something
no one is listening
it is okay
we do not seem to care
I wait for a pause
I say more words
she interrupts me
not waiting her turn
I don’t care
understanding because I do it too
no one is listening
both of us waiting for the next pause
