you should have texted me on my cell phone
why would you call me
i just cannot understand
what would bring you to do that
nothing about it makes any sense
you have the fingers
you have the time
why would you call and not just
text me
text me
drop me a quick note
don’t you know how busy i am
don’t you understand I have priorities in my life
that i must accomplish
there are things i need
there are things i need in order for me to be
the person i want to be
the person i am
the person my destined energy needs to reconnect with
the giving philanthropist
so i must stay focused
i cannot have these distractions
these phone calls
and i cannot put my phone on silence
why would i do that
what if i get an important call
i must stay available
i am really peaking right now
i am really about to bring in the serious money
then i could give
then i could do good things
the things i always wanted to do
not now
too much to do
so
please
text me
just…text…me
