    Time doesn't flow properly between them,
    10 PM turns into midnight, 
    Then midnight turns into 2 AM.
    It's singing hoarsely with a ukulele.
    It's coughing fits before hanging up.
    It's reluctant singing and improvised riffs,
    And it's nice.
    They're okay with that
    because ten hour phone calls,
    accompanied by steel strings
    never seemed more satisfying and lovely.
