Poem: Daily Phone Calls With Family

Written by Anonymous. 

It is Tuesday, November 22nd.

Today is November 22nd.

266 days before your 20th birthday

24 weeks until you move back home for the summer

3 years, 3 months and 3 days since you told your mom

And she hands you the house phone

To speak to your grandfather

3 years, 3 months and 3 days since you told your mom that her father molested you every time she wasn’t home

And she says,

“Don’t be rude, talk to your grandfather, he misses you.”
