Outer Land and Back

Line to Outer Land, and back Secret messages passed Upon tiny color screens Reminders at awkward moments Cause neighbor's troubled frown Urgent power lunch exchanges, While text messaging lovers During sports replays with horoscope implications Behind stocks rising and falling. Nervous excuses for things long forgotten That should have been remembered Plug me in to Outer Land! I need it now, not next week or yesterday damn it! Don’t yell at me! I’m going! No! I’m sorry! Where were we? Oh yes, I like that. Voices of hours past revisited Numbers with no meaning, but must be saved … just in case. Born To Be Wild, ring tone Sorry, I have to take this
