Glad You Called
/Sometimes we have conversations that leave us puzzled and uneasy.
————
To say hello. It’s been a while.
A year, you say. How are
the kids? I know you’re only
filling time. Polite. What
do you really want?
I don’t see them much.
They have their lives.
And you? What’s going on?
The silence thick. The seconds
tick. Did I say something wrong?
Just want to hear your voice,
you say. Just want to know
that you’re ok. Then silence.
You hang up.
