in love with the woman
on the phone.
she sounds
so sweet and innocent
as if
she's never been kissed.
she's a songbird
on the sill
spreading her wings.
dutifully
i listen to her go on.
she's smart
and
quick, funny, with a clever
wit.
i think i want
to marry
this girl, this woman
on the other end of the line.
but then
she puts me on hold
for hours,
then click.
