"Yes?" Her voice was impossible to read
I drew in a breath and jumpedGod hates a coward,
Wireman says"I called to say
thanksI was being a horse's assYour jumping in
like that was what I needed
The silence was long enough for me to wonder if
maybe she'd quietly hung up at some pointThen
she said, "I'm still here, Eddie - I'm just
picking myself up off the floorI can't remember

Had I apologized? Well"Then I'm sorry about that, too," I said
