Once, we sat by the phone
never leaving its side
afraid to go out, it might be missed.
Now we take it with us
everywhere
but we're still as neurotic
raising the ring tone
coupling it with vibration
pulling it out of our pocket
in between breaths
to see if it happened yet
anticipating it to happen
simultaneously
but of course we know
a watched pot's water never boils
and despite it being so at the ready
we somehow miss it
and all that convenience,
for what? Are you serious
you forgot to set up voicemail?
Maybe some calls are never
meant to be answered.
