We huddle under the canopy
just before the tallest slide
and Mei rests her umbrella
places it on the ground
like a rainbow wall
We sit
cross-legged and cold
and I watch with baited breath
as Mei pulls out my phone.
"You have a lot of missed calls,
are you gonna call back?"
I nod.
She turns back to look at the screen,
presses a few buttons,
then hands the phone to me.
"Hold it to your ear
they'll pick up soon
hopefully."
Hopefully
I pray
