he turned his cellfone off for
the night
if someone really needed to reach him theyd have his landline he had it for thirty years a cellfone was nothing more than a portable
phone booth to him the rest miserable unnecessary bells and whistles he
reviled the markets clamourits insistence their devises were
necessary Necessary he thought
for who
when he turned it on later the
following morning four texts greeted him all marked 10:12
he opened the firstthe one hed
waited for since early Friday afternoon it
was Sunday I love you Joe
I love you Joe
someone fresharrived
looking over his shoulder wouldnt understand its ambivalence
how could love be ambivalent
it was love
he was in the habit of turning
things on their heads and reexamining themmaking chaos of their components
love evol I evol you
Ive evolved thank you
he heard himself as he often said to many he adored Just say thank
you Say youre welcome Be polite
Youre welcome
everyone should evolve
he was happy to be a part of her
evolution
hed be happier to be a part of
her love
I love you Joe
hed rather hear it in person hear it said over the fone
hed rather hear it in person hear it said over the fone
not static
ambivalent
sterile
sterile
