Static Signal

(click) Wrapped in plastic walls under cold white light

A speakerphone is crackling into the night

The screen is glowing at twelve seconds flat Hovering on send but

we don't talk about that

Is the signal clear?

(is it clear?) Are we standing near?

Send the message

through the wire

Burning with a heavy

soft desire

Let the signal fly away Into the plastic-walled bay! (yeah!)

Paint-dripped floorboards and a heavy soft hum

Waiting for the answer that has never come

Twelve seconds frozen on the progress bar

Almost sending out to where you are

Almost sending (ahhhh) Just one press away

Send the message!
