LIMPING:

You didn’t shave this morning,
You didn’t turn your phone to silent,
It’s getting on my nerves,

Meanwhile,
Somewhere else,
Someone’s phone is broken,
Someone’s phone is ringing,
And nobody answers,

It’s a dangerous moment,

Alone,
And nobody home,
With some strange woman in the corner,
With her dog,
Eyes closed,
Head tilted in meditation,
Or listening to the room,

Where are you now?
With the curtains drawn,
Did she leave you again?
