for the birds

my sister pays attention to technology.
she is 12 years old.
when things beep,
she looks at them
and says 'okay'.

she says 'okay' to a lot of things.

my sister likes to call me
from my father's phone.
when i answer,
she has very few things to say.

sometimes i can see her talking to me
from the window of her bedroom.

if i don't answer,
she leaves me a message
so that i can talk to her
and not have to look at her.
