birthday call

happy birthday! i can't see you today,
but maybe a phone call will do.
it seems like such an easy call...
to just wish you happy birthday.
(maybe easy if i lock myself in a phone booth)

but i always try and talk myself out of a phone call
(like the way i try and talk myself out of an illness)
maybe its best to practice first because the words tend to fall
out of my mouth
without any flow or elegance

"happybirthdayhappybirthdayhappybirthday"
don't wait for my call.
