Rebecca called tonight to tell me that she missed me. I didn’t have the heart to say I hadn’t recognized her voice. To tell the truth, we’d neither of us seen me in a while. She said she’d found a new way to hit those trills and vocal flips we’d abandoned long ago. I asked how she got my number. My politeness was killing. Both of us, in fact. The life we used to lead spun out in irregular rhymes. A rhythm that never resolved.

One response so far

    It is an excelent text, I love the idea of two humans not being able to coordinate both their rythms. It is a modern impossible love. They could be also like to instruments that are in different keys, it is damn hard to make them work together.
