After The Chat Poem by RIC BASTASA

we have only a minute
or so
but after the chat
we usually end it with
take care
you take care
and then we go
or at least we know
that we do different things
on different days
on this chasms of our lives
then i told you
it is raining heavily here
and they you said
bye
and i said bye too
but if you only know
literally speaking
there was no rain
there was only emptiness
the void and the
words in between
the lines
this thinking of
how can i ever tell you?
how can you
ever understand
the rain
its sounds
and meanings
