My Phone Came Alive On a Tuesday

My phone came alive on a Tuesday Forgetting to notify me Remember the old party line? She decided to get on and add to our conversation. “I feel blue,” my friend said. The phone laughed. There was silence. “Is someone else on this line?” I asked. “Wasn’t that you?” My friend said. “Not me,” I told her. This was only the beginning of several unfortunate conversations.

Memories of listening in on a party line conversation, someone else's. (As a child) As always, your own special touch.

Verrry interesting, Caren. I found it delightful...but a bit enigmatic.
