Yup. Messages.
Today’s classic poem isn’t a classic in the sense that it has been around for a while, but I absolutely love it.

THE SAVED MESSAGE
Disappearing into the
fog, it helps me remember
the adventures spent in your
strange and beautiful country;
It is the rickety bridge
that connects the two sides of
our improbably wide gap;
tangible testimony
of two former believers.

Messages are better
When delivered in person
Sometimes “well said” in a letter
Is SUPER in person.
It’s harder to say things
When you say them in person
But it’s worth all the stressing
To give it in person
A text message is hard to read
And can really easily offend a person
So talking becomes a great need
So you can tell how you feel in person
Messages are fine, and so is the phone
But talking should be done in person
If he had been polite, if he had only known
We would be together, best of friends, in person.

He sent messages
through the air
silent messages
winks, whispers
but obviously
he put down
the wrong addresses
because she
didn’t get any
that he sent

His fingers traced into living canvas
images of eternity
but the figures continued to fade

The tilt of the head
Change in tone
a significant look
sudden interruption
turn of the body
twitch of the hands
and other gestures
shifting weight
exaggerated coughing
She still didn’t get the message
