Can You Hear Me Now?

Can You Hear Me Now?

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

If I stand still, will you hear me?

You know I like to pace

Maybe a tower is down

I’ll write it in a letter instead,

But I can’t afford a postage stamp

How can you hear me?

Maybe if I go native I can send you smoke signals

I’m trying to hear you

Your words are confused by the words of others

Lost in the static of a bad connection

I need to pay my phone bill

Maybe write a text

Text a text?

Write me an e-mail with the brightest colors of your soul

I’ll check next week when my Wi-Fi is back on

It’s not that I don’t want to read it

I’m just poor

I’m out of gas in everyway

Meet me in the middle of nowhere

Just name the time

Face to face and voice to voice

I’ll check the batteries in my hearing aides

Make sure you do the same

Will you hear me then?

Can you hear me now?
