Area Code +612

Under the careful watch of all nights
happiness, hidden under blankets
awoke, to call me up on
a telephone from somewhere
asking if I needed company

in my soft voice left over from
sleeping I asked what time was the meeting
and with less words
happiness hung up
but their number is
still in my phone memory

I think the prank call
was just checking
if I was still answering
and if night time was my preference
for phonecalls

which it is.
