While you were away.

The jumbled mess
of whatever comes next
stopped by your office today.
It says hello,
and watch for goodbyes
and then
there was a silence
that rang like a bell.
Also you're wife called.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I say wife?
Life,
I meant life.
Life called and it said it needed fixing.
I've got the contractors on speed-dial,
would you like me to call?
Oh, it's alright?
Maybe later, then.
