Notes About The Poem

* Portable phones today are often referred to as smart phones.

Outsmarted

New social media address 
Let her think she’d talk even less.
        But she dropped her phone,*
        And felt more alone;
None answered her call of distress.

Nice poem. I still think I'm smarter than my phone.
