Checking In

That is what we ask -
just give me a call to check in -
oh, no. too much. Well just an email
or even a txt. When you get
home.

Nothing more. Just a
nod. So I know, my
world has not ceased
while I was walking the dog.

Just a comfort to
stave the 3:24 AM clutch.
Nothing more. While I am
checking the weather for your trip.

Which begins at 8:30 AM
on the same day. And the Atlantic
so unpredictable, like Omaha and
Kansas; or today, Missouri.

Just checking. Always
checking.
