mama telephone

Hear the cackle
through the speaker of the telephone

voice of an adulteress
coming through the other end.
is this how you’re going to spend
the entirety of your second childhood?

Oh Lee don’t you know
this is life- reality
it’s not a show
so hang up the phone.
Just hang up the phone.

The only eyes covered by the
wool are yours
don’t you see?
Oh wait. You can’t.
But why won’t you see??

Wait for the dial tone
through the speaker of the telephone.
You know it’s on it’s way.
The backhand of surprise-
Only it’s not one.

Laugh of the adulterer
stinging the ears on the other end.
Is this how your going to spend
the entirety of your life?

Oh Lee don’t you know
didn’t they tell you
it’s over.
Wish you would have seen.
So hang up the phone
just hang up the phone.
