randomnesssss again

so i am texting you
we have been the whole day
tapping the keys furiously
to form a word
so many words to say
not enough characters to use
the message is not conveyed because i cannot say it to your face
you merely see the words and hit reply and type and send
reply and type and send
reply
and
type
and
send
and it continues through the day
we cannot call now
it is too early to call we will get caught
so i keep you in my pocket
my wonderful secret
though you are just a personified cellphone
that i tell i love you to
and that i can’t wait to see you again to
daily small talk daily chatter
the impersonality of it all
and on it goes
my little personified cellphone
you are amazing
there was a time when i was with you
it made you and i laugh
although i could speak the words i longed to say
because we were face to face
what had to be said i could not say outloud
i texted you
the phone was there on the hard counter
the message traveling through the air silently
it was received and your phone vibrated
shaking itself swiftly off the counter
onto the soft carpet below
silly phone
at least the carpet was soft to cushion the fall
i send another text
six.. m,n..o four.. g..h
two.. a..b two.. a
my fingers getting sore from all the typing
two.. a..b nine w,x..y
and now i am at home giggling to myself
thinking about us and about you
and how now all i have is this
my little personified cell phone
and you buzz and i check the message
i hit reply and type and send
reply
and
type
and
send
just another text
as i wait to get your response while the cycle carries on
