Neutered

"Taking away my cell phone would be as painful as being neutered." ~ by poet Twenty years ago, no one would have predicted that to cell phones, the world would become addicted. We text instead of calling, though we have the choice. I barely remember the sound of my child's voice! Often, I forget where I've left my darn phone. Without a text notification, I feel very much alone. It's part of my anatomy that I should have neutered, a simple surgical procedure that should be tutored. Remove it from my hand with a scapel or a knife. Can I survive without it? It's instrumental to my life! Cutting it off would be an act of painful castration. Maybe a lobotomy instead of neutering amputation? I won't promise that if it's done, it would be a cure. If it's no longer attached to me, how will I endure not being able to keep in touch with my best friend, and how long does it take for neutered scars to mend?
