Telephones
When I was young
I'd talk on the phone
black rotary when
cell meant biology I would talk
for hours listen for hours too
now we keep our landline for no good reason
calls about college credit Democrats money no one
ever leaves a long story on my landline
cell calls mostly information Meet Me Here
emails informational too I save
requests from Nigerians asking for help because
they are good stories saved a message on my answering machine
we still have one from 8 years ago about a cat named Rhonda
even though I don't much like cats because of the story:
She vanished. She returned. And what happened.
