"A concept my society forgot while everybody else got on the phone"
Mobile Monologues
When I walk by myself I am alone
Observing everything engaged in thought
Wrapped in the rhythm of steps and quiet
A concept my society forgot
While everybody else got on the phone
The mobile monologues have run amok
As everyone else walking now has got
Running conversations running riot
I often find myself lost now and stuck
Within a crowd speaking but not to me
Nor to each other but are speaking to
Someone unknown to me perhaps to you
Am I the exception which proves the rule
The very last person apparently
Without this chattering ubiquity
This twenty-first century talking tool
A mute misfit not yet turned squawking fool?
I have a telephone which has a cord
A long one just not long enough to roam
But then no roaming charges need apply
Because when I go out I leave it home
I am neither that busy nor that bored
That I must be declaiming all the time
Exclaiming all in rhyme silently I
A self-contained quietist walk out of pace
Where monologues animate each lonely face
