This is so strange:
staring at the screen
watching you
in a medium I didn’t know you knew
singing singles of yesteryear
well past due.
I have heard of that song
even heard it before
but never really listened
and have clearly never seen your lips
around such hits.

It is a new experience,
you expressing such historic
classic cuts
before that camera
projected to my coast
over hundred of miles
as the crow flies.
I wish you were here
where I could be with you
with no screen separating us
but like you said before:
there’re so many places
you’ve gotta see.

I guess that little number
you present so powerfully
could speak for us
as well as anything else
you might try to say directly.

You look good
through that screen.
I’m glad you seem so happy
but sad that it’s so far away from me.
