tiny connections

one minute, face to face, with the people you already love

a minute is small
small enough to fit
between the kettle and the tea
between two buses
between missing someone
and saying so

a little signal goes out
somewhere a phone lights up
and a face arrives
slightly too close to the camera
already laughing

nothing gets said that matters
that’s what matters

then the line runs out
on time
