but you live across the street

we should

do

a zoom call, she suggests.

you know,

catch up.

we haven't

seen each

other in so long.

it would be nice to see

you again.

i look out the window

and see

her walking around in her

house

across the street,

in her pink bathrobe,

talking on the phone.

i can see you now, i tell her.

look out your kitchen

window,

i'm waving.

it's not the same, she says.

go sit

by your computer

and put

me on a zoom call,

or do you do face time?

what about skype?
