incomplete

you know
i'd call you up

but by now it's awkward

words would trip out
of my mouth
like a baby
just beginning to walk

in starts and stops

wavering to whatever point
i could find on the way
to the end of the sentence

grasping for meaning
while
gasping for air

wondering why the
distance was so
hard to overcome

and why you even
cared
for a dork like me

when i can't even
see
what i was before

...when i can't even find
the way to the door

(blah)
