Phone Calls
by William Robbins
copyright 05-23-2002


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
Long distance
conversations
mumbled into an empty coffee cup
as diatribes
about pedantic theories of irony.
The ears
hearing
eloquent crusades into greatness
and a banter of epithet darts
flung by the tongue
as one poignant
impotent romance
with the mirror
where the mind is stalked
by grotesque gremlins
breaking the turnstiles to a show of pathos.
One drops a dime into the slot,
dialing Heaven’s
911 operator
with the heart.
