Hold the Phone

Incoming ... distress missive call Hangups on the other side of the continental divide cellular room Mushroom sobs of insecurity click end of volatile transmission Redialitis sparks an emotional kaboom Hold the phone ... busy signal blocks the aural unnecessary audio carrying on Listen to the sick, sad drone of earworm infection Party line frienemy chatter — rumor skullduggery lip shake the skeleton bones Wireless ... discredit babble cry is on the blame install Wronged directory sent bye-bye a phantom victimized 911 call Hangups on the teary-eye side of the bleary divide Insecure tremors rattle the room Situation report bleak ... relationship on a carrier gloom Moby D pigeon chirps want the last speak Mushroom wails spark splash a cellular kaboom Hold the phone ... fade-to-black signal buries the raised decibel unnecessary verbal carrying on Silence transmits an air golden tone; as needless, exhale worriations of arrhythmic heart palpitations get disconnected lung distance long And the bad karma vibrations beep off-the-tower power grid gone
