Old Phones from Jewelbug by Reid O'Rooney

You call we talk my ear goes numb we sit and chat
All day Saturday
Love love love love in crackled low fidelity
With digital delay

And everything’s alive, and all of us are breathing
Everything is green, and all of us can see
Everything is swell, and you are such a wellspring of devotion
And I’m riding on a wave of static love

The code the numbers dialed in the front desk clerk
Connect me please to her room
Ring ring no you “She must be out” “No message thanks”
My heart just sank to bottom

And everything is slow
The air as thick as tree sap
Everything is weird
I’m sitting here alone
Everything is lame
And nothing is the same without your voice
And I’m sinking on a wave of dial tones

Cuz I’m here…

The snow the cold it’s puking down I step outside
The snowflakes hit my noggin
The rush the air the biting chill I’m riding down
A spiritual toboggan

And everything is clear, You’re over the horizon
Everything is real, I’m with you in my dreams
Everything is known
My flesh and blood are twist-tied to your soul
And I’m waiting for the day you come on home

Cuz I’m here and you’re there…
