hi

you might like the way the moon looks
will you go outside and see for yourself

put the phone down first
open the door then
close it

take however long
you need to make
up your mind

if you don’t come back before
time runs out
i won’t blame you

doesn’t it look like a broken off
bloodied nail

…

should i hang up yet?

i think i dialed wrong
anyways
