The Telephone

How powerful a telephone, a receiver, a handset can be?

We are here and there. Me here, him there, holding on to it.  Sometimes we argue, this is a euphemism mostly we argue. Sometimes we get along and often only the crispy sound of the line separating us does the arguing. The silence is heavy. The silence tells more than any words we could actually throw at each other. We are here and there holding on to this phone as we are holding on to this relationship feeling that if we hang up, we would be hanging up on us.  Holding the receiver holds us together.
