Old Friends

Sat on their park bench
Like bookends.

I met little Calvin today. She is a married woman now. Still the same fierce bundle of energy though. I am happy for all that she is, and how she has changed, and how we stumbled over sentences to keep up with all that we had to catch up on. A year is a long time...

*********
Trrring Trrring.
"Hello, I am unavailable, please leave me a message blahtida."
"Hi Butterfly! It's me, from New York. Dying to know how you're-"
(Loud Australian voice)
"If you want to listen to your message, press 1. If you want to record a new voicemail, press 2."
Shrug.

*********
I must really hate my phone. Last night, I spat on it in my sleep.

I am of the strong opinion that you should let go of your phone rather than humiliate and abuse it, while continuing to drive it to a harsh and painful death. Have some mercy.
