She's not supposed to answer!

she fucking picked up!

she should be living on Neptune!
she's an extraterrestrial, a ghost, a myth,
not a real person who picks up
a *67 blocked caller!

some people never got over Vietnam,
or the night their band opened for Nirvana.
I guess I'll never get over Kendra Jean.

for a split second, 
her voice sounded like leaves rustling,
older but still optimistic. 

my question
is why
did she pick up?

she had to know it was me.
maybe she was drunk.
what if she were meant to?
