Not So Precious Moments

Not So Precious Moments They call these nameless voices introduced by insipient rings droning on their piercing voices shattering the moment. They insist on speaking breathlessly running past the comma’s hurdling the periods racing toward some distant goal. Oblivious to barking dogs screaming children whistling tea kettles beeping smoke detectors droningonandonandon in mantric monotony. Who imposes such a penance, demands such restitution? What past life indiscretion could bring about such karmic contingency? They call yet I cannot offer forgiveness. Nor will I save the endangered kaigiwalligalopolous by sharing my credit card info. Not even if they send me a picture of the kaigiwalligalopolous my contribution saved. They drone on as I have set the receiver down and walked away. The dog barks the kids scream the kettle whistles the smoke detector beeps the pan cakes are really done. John G. Lawless © 3/4/2017
