Two things - from "Northwest Passage," pilot episode

I know I promised
not to call but
I have to see you.

There's two things.
First:
this house is humming,
strained at the heel
of a black pump and
a sterling column of urgent tones.

And:
I want to re-establish clean silences.
Cigarettes in any ashtray
can snap right through to exasperation,
translate a hand to forehead
simultaneously.

What is so difficult to understand?
Best nature pained, a hard smile.

It's okay.
It's okay.
