Status Complications

For every few meaningless hours
Spent fixating on random dramas and
endless situations that will somehow  
never get solved,
I take two minutes out of every
complicated afternoon,
sit down with my cup of Folgers,
or second cup,
and reread every last line
of the email I just sent
fifteen hours before,
and check to see if it's really what I
meant to say, or if I'm
missing another major issue
currently complicating my already
complicated life, that somehow for
some reason,
I need to tell him about,
so that he knows everything going on
with me, and it somehow makes me feel
like I have someone who enjoys
my complications, and cares,
but mostly,
when I check to see if it's been read,
and usually it has,
I reread the lines and wonder
if he's thinking about my complications, and
somehow wants to fix them for me,
or maybe he's not writing back
because he has too many of his own complications
to deal with, and doesn't have time,
which I understand,
but mostly, I wonder if maybe I'm somehow
missing the complicated neglected issue
of us being together, and
maybe I should mention it, because somehow
maybe he wants that complication in
his life, just as much as I
want it in mine,
and maybe with him knowing
we have the same complication, writing back
somehow might not seem
so complicated after all.
