hourly rates

a phone call lasts exactly as long as it does
a chat is about the same
a video chat, probably ten minutes longer
a smile for fifteen minutes more
a complement for twenty
conversation for twenty score
and a hug, my friend,
lasts an entire day
that indeed
is the rate of quick fixes
for those who lack 
the wonder drug called company
(also known as love in some circles)
