Dust Covered Phone

No point in a phone when you're no longer known
And the sound of alone... is a dialling tone

So many unknown. One bedroom places are an indictment on greed and backward thinking. Two bedrooms give more options and are more eco-friendly using less resources. One kitchen instead of two, less plumbing. Will read more of your work. You hit nail on head with this one. all the best for 2022. David in NZ
