phone call

she's angry.
you can
smell it through
the phone.
it may be you,
it may
her neighbor
it might be something
to do with
her car or
work, or perhaps
just the inclement
weather,
but it's you
she's talking to,
you're
in the line of
fire,
cringing on
the other end,
carefully choosing
your words,
and hiding
your sighs.
