online
who is he talking ot?
what is he thinking of, right now?
does he see my status online?
ringing
i answer the telephone with and anxious expectant cheer
waiting to hear the news
listen to hear her voice
of the days latest events
opening
the mail box
peering thru the curtains, searching for the uniform
desperate to see her writing
on varied color envelopes
and that over sea ink stamp
