Relief - a double entendre

We talk on the phone about our pains,
Our victories, our demands,
Absurdities, peculiarities;
About love, about strength,
Hair loss, diets, sex and penis length.

Sometimes we even sob holding the phone as a life line
Invisible, wireless these days.
But we must connect and reconnect,
Regret — and reregret if we’re pathet.

She does all that on the phone with me.
But while peeing. Splash.

And it feels great.
