Celery Farm to McFaul May 4, 2019

album

amplified distance

for Rosie

You improvised a solution
To hearing aids in need of repair
Holding your phone to your ear
As I called you on my cell phone

Sitting across from you
Hearing my voice echo
The walls of that room expanded
To the nearest cell tower and back

The distance between us
Amplified and reverberating
Me soft spoken and speaking slowly
My short phrases and pauses

Audible and comprehensible
But such a separation in space
Better to speak up almost shouting
Getting very close beside you.
