We’ll sit together

Chris Hall47 Comments

We’ll sit together,
at least very soon;
I’m almost running,
you see, I am late again.

Well, I’ve lost something,
and it’s pretty important,
still not a calamity,
although it’s a kind of one.

Well, I’m here now,
and sorry about all of this,
what a performance I’ve had,
but now I’m sitting by you.

And a moment later,
she opens her big bag,
and says:
here’s your phone.

  7. About a month ago, i met up with an old friend and realised that I had misplaced my phone. Usually, that’s a cause for panic, which I felt initially, but for some reason, I just dismissed the rising anxiety.
    Some moments are more valuable than that device.
    That piece captured both feelings I felt that day.

    Lovely piece, Chris.
