Repost What's in a name I call her by her Indian name Pseudonym, "Many telephones." She flits a ghost of tomorrow Throughout the present of today. Carries a cell phone in her bag To cover transit and byway And she has one above the bed To blanket for a time delay. A phone to receive her faxes Another by the computer. A master phone in the kitchen Truly a technical wonder. She is thinking of surgery To remove the aging beeper To cut a part the mounting bill A very large and bitter pill. For me I opt the sundial clock, The shamrock and archaic knock. |

I prefer the sundial too, Seymour. Perhaps it's age.  You certainly have a poetic knack for thought translation. Enjoyed this. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

I'm with you, Sy! You know what really annoys me? A ringing phone on the train...I mean really, can't people even be without a phone for a half hour? Unbelieveable. Delightful poem, Sy! Denise |
