here we are. drinking coffee at 9 pm. i am reading poetry and you are making lists about lists. here we are. trying to fill the distance between us with something. i do it with comfortable silence, but you start talking to me about how iPads could replace computers one day and about iOS eleven and i nod my head and smile to myself because i see you and what you're trying to do: trying to shorten the distance the way you know how and instead of nodding again i tell you how my friend is selling her phone and how i don't know whether to buy it or not because the storage space is the same as my phone's and while you talk to me about cameras and megapixels and iCloud space the space between us is smaller.
