the accidental tourist

i am guessing your phone was in your pocket when you called me now.

it took me a moment to realise you weren't going to speak to me, that you didn't know i was there.

you were instead in the middle of teaching a class, or playing a game, i can't be certain which.

but i could hear screaming kids and your voice sounded gruff like you were in character. perhaps you were a troll or a monster.

i wasn't on the line long.

but loved hearing this fragment of you unaware.
i'd never otherwise have been able to be there.
