Dispatch Number 39 -26 Seconds

It takes 26-seconds
to cross a street
to let a phone ring 4 times
to count to 40
to run from a fight


It takes 26-seconds
to stare at a wall without thinking of someone
to stop listening to someone else
to know you'll marry her
to learn how white your teeth could be


It takes 26-seconds
to stare at someone without words before you get uncomfortable
to speak before being asked
to decide whether you like a new town or not


It takes 26-seconds
