Click,

I count the dial tones in my head,

Letting the monotonous sound wash over me,

Vainly whispering,

Oh calm down dear heart,

Stop beating out to his rhythm,

Its only a phone call,

As my mind spat insults,

Questioning the existence of my dignity,

Click,

I count the seconds in my head,

onetwothreefour,

Two consonants of greeting,

My name followed,

Oh dear heart stop it,

Don't beat to his name,

A failed attempt to reciprocate,

A second failure,

stopthisfoolishness,

In the midst of chaotic thoughts,

I hear my name again,

Icantdothis,

My mind agrees,

Dignity my girl,

This is just a mistake,

I stammered,

Without a chance for a reply,

Receiver slamming onto cradle,

ohshitohshit,

Click.

Yes, that was my lame attempt on poetry after years of abandoning it for short fictions. Enjoy?
