Dial Tone

Good job, sweet-
heart.

I left a question
mark

instead of a dollar.

Between loops, I
hear

a sigh, but it's
hard

to tell if it's pleasure.

Your necklace is wrapped
so

tightly around your
fingers

the blood stops flowing.

I try so damn hard to
make

it new, just for you,
yet

you never return my calls.
