Stewart Little
I watch you stare
at the space on the wall
as you wait patiently
for an expected call
your lips purse out
eyes drooping just a bit
you obnoxiously twitch
where you temporarily sit
our bodies are only
inches away
the television flickers
I want you to stay
Incoming call
her voice is extremely squeaky
you look over in mid-sentence
I hope you can't read me
So I divert my eyes
and smile at the screen
hope you have fun
is not what I mean
no matter the show
that airs at my time
can glue your interest
and change your mind
so obviously you'll leave
out the blue colored door
As I weigh into my lumpy couch
my heart quietly hitting the floor
