The Conversation

By Jeffrey Zable

The Conversation

Lying here listening through the ceiling to my upstairs neighbor
talking on the phone, it sounds like he’s saying, “Eppa okay
whatappa resinga ohha sikla tuva okanga ohwah lele fala ahlawah. . . ”

This continues for around twenty minutes until he finally
signs off with, “Talkala walala suna.”

“Must have been a family member or personal friend!”
I think to myself, glad that the conversation is over. . .
