GRID

GRID
Let’s be honest.
You know neither one of us knows what’s going on here.
you’re on the other end
sitting at a screen pushing buttons
and following protocol.
I’m in my underclothes wondering why my day has been disrupted
forced out of bed by a break in your services -five minutes too long.
And both of us scratch our heads
while we wait for Houdini
to square it all back to perfect,
hang up,
and never have to see each other.
How will we fare in the wilderness?
