words passed back and forth
I catch one
I laugh because you laugh
and throw it back
he tells the story every time
Jamie who I never met
and it's funny how I come to care
at fever pitch
this is just coffee
Judy won't know
words passed back and forth
I catch one
I laugh because you laugh
and throw it back
and who is that
standing in the corner reading
who is that next to her pointing forward
hands in her lap
voices bubble under me
only Jamie to hold onto
oh Jamie
somebody is clapping
and I lean in closer
heart still pounding from the pressure and the coffee
drumming on the table
door swings open letting voices out like steam
look up from the corner and smile
do they know about Jamie
do they know about Jamie
you take a phone call
but where is he
