“Oh…oh oh oh…I see…you are texting me on your smart phone because you are trying to distract yourself from work. No, I’m not busy. Are you busy? Are you trying not to be busy? Are you trying to express yourself? Human connection. Phone. Technology. This keyboard is easier to use than I thought. Would you like me to text you short stories about all the people I met on the street? I just passed a gentleman wearing a wig. I wonder if he is bald or a man who wants to be a lady. Text me back your thoughts post haste. Now I’m getting bored typing this. I’m hungry, too. I want something light, but sweet. We should get sorbet later! Text me back! I’m not at work! You are! I’m laughing out loud right now but you can’t hear it.”

—This is the text I got from Jeff after I texted him, “Are you busy?”/”I’m at work.”/”So bored.”
