Leaving a light on in an empty apartment does not mean

anyone is home

 

Forgetting to turn off the fan does not show that a friend has come by,

only that you were in a hurry when you left

 

Dirty socks on the floor are yours

and weren't put there by a lover who no longer visits

 

The blinking red light on your answering machine indicates

that you had a call, but it was a wrong number

 

The only other voice tells you what you already knew

 

 

                                                      No more new messages
