8. communication
made with a telephone, a window-envelope and a little knife

lyrics
Lack of contact made his heart bleed
I saw it in the way he walked
The careless way he crossed the busy street
Small white earphones kept him safe from silence
God forbid that silence should speak...

“It’s not my fault, I just can’t reach him”
I told my best friend last night
She became all red and mad and told me to shut up
“You are so impatient! Communication is not a quick snack,
it’s a slow cooking dish, like real love.
This efficiency-thing is going to kill you.
You can’t give up on him like that.
Are you ever going to grow up, or are you simply fed up?”
My turn to get red. Now who is mrs. Communication Expert here?

98321… and then 204…. this should be it… No, that’s my bosses’ number… I’dbetter not call her. Now let me see, where is that phone…ahem.

Hello?I am very sorry.
Let’s write. Let’s talk. I promise not to bring my cell phone.
Let’s meet. Let’s take a walk. I won’t take the short cut home.
Let’s stop this crazy running around. Let’s not watch TV.
Communication is rotten in this city, but don’t give up on me.
I 've been doing a real poor job, but I was trying to reach you…you see?

Hi, it’s me again. You haven’t returned my call yet,
But I’ve been thinking…
How about Tuesday 7 p.m. for dinner?
