sitting here
composition date: early 2002...

i'm sitting here
impatiently staring at the phone
waiting for you to call--
wondering if you're going to call...
hoping you'll call.

*ring*
hello?
*click*

damned telemarketers.

still sitting,
still staring,
still waiting,
still wondering,
still hoping.

i just want to talk to you.
if only i could hear your voice...
hell, even better,
if i could see your face.

damnit...
why won't you call?

call me,
call me,
please,
call me...

*ring*

no--it's not the phone,
just the oven timer.
i've got oven mitts on,
and i'm staring at the phone...
sitting here...
