Ring, ring...hello!

Hello’s are comfortable

In a world where awkward is

dreaded, avoided desperately

 

Goodbye’s are imminent.

The closure concept

never fails satisfaction

 

When will the colloquialisms

universally celebrated,

contradict the least sought

after desires of humanity?

 

Our relationships are divided

by stoppages in play.

With swift waves of hands

of fingers,

compartmentalizing nothing,

on a cluttered desk.

Where was my hello?
