Vinheta

I look at the phone
I put it away, I look again
I put it away, I look a third time
Just in case it's different
I stop and call myself
Just to see if my line is still working
And it's still working

I check the messages
Seven, eight, twenty times
It's only been five minutes
I felt like three months passed
What was that story again?
About emails that don't arrive
I remembered that story
That emails always arrive

You said you would call
You said you liked it
My dear, all I can think
Is that you were run over
Got up unsteadily
Hit a pole
And broke fourteen teeth
Then got mugged by three huge guys
And when you tried to leave, got run over again
Woke up with amnesia in a distant hospital
Love, I hope you're okay
