you wrote me
to phone
sometime
like old times
those times
when i gave all my time

jotted "call you"
on a list
before
"recycle dead batteries"

i so wanted to hear
your smile

"recycle dead batteries"

i so wanted to hear
your smile
and
to let you hear mine

but hesitated
i'll reach out
at the right time

then time took what time takes

now i'm tempted to
romanticize, fantasize 
and
sanitize

the time i knew
chaotic, volatile, and free
slowed down once
just long enough

to resent
me and my shadow

Time knew why
i chose only
to
"recycle dead batteries"

to let you hear mine
