I can't even focus.
All I can hear
Dial Tones.

Swallowing my fears
Holding my breath
Your call has been forwarded

Damnit.
Missed again.
Relief in knowing it's on
To an automatic voice messaging system

Maybe he's grounded
Or possibly not allowed.
But at least that probably means
Please leave your message for

He's done being evaluated
And potentially back home


My fears sink to my stomach
Please, I beg, don't stop the dial tones
Unless it's his voice that interrupts.


I need to know he's okay.
Just... Something older I love.

I can relate to this...

Though, I assume a lot of people can.
