*Ring*....

*Ring*....

Jack: Hello?

Crissy: Hi babe.

Jack: How long is it going to take you to get here?

Crissy: Well I was thinking maybe we could meet at a diner near your place.

Jack: There's a diner near me? How far?

Crissy: Well...Its about 3 miles.

Jack: Man..how did I miss that?

Crissy: I dont know, but how about we meet there?

Jack: Sure, no prob what street is it on?

Crissy: I don't know, but.....

Jack: How are you going to give me directions if you don't even know where it is?

Crissy: I know where it is.

Jack: How can you know where it is? You don't have the address?

Crissy: I don't need the address. Its only five minutes from your place.

Jack: (facepalm) okay...how do I get to this place on some street...somewhere?

Crissy: You know I would tell you if you would just listen!

Jack: Well fine...where do I go?

Crissy: You leave your place and take a right?

Jack: On Mouse Road?

Crissy: I don't know the name of the road.

Jack: Well how do I know where I'm going?

Crissy: Just leave your place and take a right. Is that so hard?

Jack: Then what do I do?

Crissy: You take a left when you cross the rail road tracks.

Jack: And get on Anderson street?

Crissy: I don't know what the name of the road is.

Jack: Whats the name of the place? Im going to GPS it. You are going to get me lost.

Crissy: Lost 5 minutes away?

Jack: Whats the name of the place?

Crissy: I don't know.

Jack: How can you not know? This is absurd...lol

Crissy: Just go towards the Blue gas station you pass everyday, but take a right at the church before you get there. After that, it will be on the right. You cant miss it.

Jack: So you want me to turn off on Boot Road?

Crissy: I don't know what the name of the road..street is...does it matter?

Jack: Yes because I have to know where I'm going.....

Crissy: I have to call you back in a sec...I see a cop. *Click*  

Crissy: WHY CANT YOU JUST SHUT THE F**K UP!!!! GAH--(bangs steering wheel)--DAMMNIT!!!!

(deep breath...exhales...)

*Ring*

*Ring*

Jack: Eh babe....How do I get there?

Crissy: If you would just listen...I could tell you..Why does this have to be so difficult!?

Jack: Okay..Okay!...How Do I get there?

Crissy: I told you. Just head towards the blue gas station, take a right at the church and the diner will be right on your right.

Jack: Ok...but how will I know im at the right place?

Crissy: There's only ONE diner!!!

Jack: Did you have a bad day or something?

Crissy: No...Im fine.

Jack: Well Why do you seem so upset.

Crissy: I gotta go. I see another cop.

. oh gosh ... how skillfully you bring the reader's attention to the significance of landmarks and not names of roads ... i am amazed by your writing ... just amazed ... what a piece ... superbly written ... the back and forth ... the conversation ... the exchange between the two ... is a snapshot of the human mind that relies on landmarks and one that relies on technicalities ... i shouldn't say this but this is one reason why i simply do not attempt to write form poetry any more ... too technical for me ... i'm happy with landmarks ...

Oh the pain of miscommunication. As a married man I know it well! GPS the great relationship saver. Funny, I can relate, especially as my wife is Japanese and has a trouble communicating over the phone or in the car when we're driving.
