Did I
call you Yesterday?
I’m sitting in my car
speaking to you over blue tooth.
Did I call you
yesterday? I barely remember hearing
your voice. I told you I couldn’t find
my car. I remember telling you I
searched for it on the rooftops, and how I slipped from the terra cotta
shingles and ended up falling on my back into someone’s backyard. The couple that lived in the house was a vapid pair and did not oblige the anxiety
or urgency to find my car. They didn’t
even care that I fell from the roof.
They didn’t even question it.
They treated me like I was there for a visit. They fed me a lunch of
cucumber sandwiches, which are out of season.
They made me watch their butler and maid re-enact a scene from the
celebrated Broadway play, “Hamilton.”
Not being actors, the scene was a jumble and not entertaining.
They gave me a drink,
although tangy and sweet, it made me
sweat and I insisted on calling you. They
allowed me the use of their phone, it was strangely attached to the wall with a
cord… I don’t know what happened after
that. I’m sure the couple was more
boring than before, and perhaps I died from the boredom. That was yesterday.
I’ve been running a
fever. I know the fever made the conversation
seem like I was unhinged. I know I have the flu.
Do you know where my car
is?
scary I hope the person in the car is found
ReplyDeleteFlue, loss of memory and careless disregard for her own safety! She is definitely in trouble. Perhaps she is indeed unhinged!
ReplyDeleteWinter cucumbers are the worst! Flavorless.
