(A snapshot of Any Street, Anywhere.)


Poem Artwork

 


 


 


 


 


You walk on the street,


Aloud ring the bell,


Quickly halt the feet


And faster than hell


Hands reach for the gun…


I beg your pardon;


The damned telephone.


Now begins the fun.


 


Many around you


Are doing the same.


Others react too,


The world's gone insane.


A hundred hands reach


For the blessed phone…


Oh, what a millstone!…


And hundred throats screech:


 


"Hi! What's up? Hello!"


John talking to Jean,


Jill to a fellow


And Paul sounds real mean


Yelling at Beryl,


Who's standing alone


- With her mobile phone -


In midst of peril


 


Half way 'cross the road.


"Where are you?" - "I'm here!"


His eyesight zeroed


On her now quite clear,


He lifts one hand up


And yells in his phone,


In aggressive tone:


"Get here and shut up!"
