Eric Niehoff Poet Rhyme

Disruption

Lunch with a friend 
Conversation flows
A ring of the phone
Our talking froze

She chooses to answer
I look annoyed
Our time together
Has now been destroyed

I stare at my plate
While being ignored
Five minutes pass
I'm getting bored

Was the call business?
No, just idle chatter
Derailing the mood
For an irrelevant matter

Keeping my calm
An impossible task
a little respect
Is all that I ask

Tethered to tech
Disconnecting us all
Harming a friendship
All over a call

Jake Ponce October 20, 2013 at 3:52 AM If that happened to me, I'd be really pissed off. Some folks oftentimes forget that it's rude to take a call and just chat away. It's like telling you that you're boring. Well, I hope you kept your cool at that moment and I'm glad you shared what happened through poetry. :) Eric Niehoff October 20, 2013 at 9:35 AM It can be frustrating to be ignored because of modern technology. Thanks for reading and commenting.
