Someone in a long-distance relationship is feeling shut out, and the questions pour out of them. The speaker asks why their partner won't talk, why they stare at a screen every day, and why they can't just call. The poem never gives us a reply. Every line is a question or a bare statement of fact, which makes the speaker sound like they're talking into silence.
The middle lines, "i'm across the country. / your attention is elsewhere," are the plainest in the poem, and they hurt the most. The distance is physical, but the second line suggests an emotional distance too. By the end, the worry has turned inward: "do you not love me?" and "what did i do?" show someone who has started to blame themselves. The lowercase letters and short lines keep the tone quiet and unguarded. The mood is anxious, lonely, and a little desperate, like a message typed late at night and never answered.
