Hang Up

It’s amazing how the internet white pages
List cell and landline numbers going back ages

I would try the most recent ones if I had the nerve
Imagine connecting with you again

With the now you even though
Time shouldn’t blur my memories

Some detailed so brilliantly
You may relive them like old movies

Anytime you rewind the reel
And play it again you imagine

How it all comes back as if then you were now
The same providence of your secret smile

That whisper from your lips still drawing me in
Ever mesmerized by you descending a moonlit staircase

Eyes private as an unlisted number space
It a tight booth steaming frosted glass

How impossible, really, to see you through
Running a frantic palm around the cloudy window

Finally panting no clear vision of the now you
Because I hang up before even trying a word
