we
talk on the phone
for
hours
sometimes
she cries
we
both flush the toilet
from time to time
from time to time
and
we have a strong
connection
even
though I think
she
likes to pretend
it
does not exist
I
have always felt
protective
toward her
even
when my tantrums
ruled
the roost
and
my black eyes
spoke
louder than words
wanted
to trade punches
with
the champ
until
realizing the king
of
the hill is oftentimes
just
a bloviated tycoon
and
I am out of cash
and
ebt only gets you
so
far
let’s
stay away from
punctuation
and
try remembering
the
good times
we
talk on the phone
when
she answers
in
a hesitant fashion
it
never fails to make me
question
why I called
in
the first place
