NASA TV live
Discovery being launched
At 2:49.
EST So two hours of drivel
And static images
Then a postponement
Bad Weather.
Inane comments about Soccer
On messenger
Polite conversation
I must show interest
In what interests you
No fakeness this
Just a genuine desire
To create a communication thread.
Something did not take off
Maybe a wearied
Trial and re-trial
"Am too busy"
Lassitude creeps in on me too
And then
When you try
My genuine enthusiasm
Mistake
I am inclined
To believe
It was deliberate
Just so's you could
Justify
Being curt before.
Voice mail, after several rings
Of the phone
Now a stubbornness
Maybe born
Of "have had enough"
And so I do not persist
Involved discussion on religion
Phone on "vibrate"
Seemingly not to disturb
A theological debate
Snug at my hip pocket
I'll know if you call.
And then by 2am Sunday,
Only Douglas Adams makes sense
Sunday is another day.
