Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

When the Cord Is Cut

I was completely out of touch,
A speck among the crowds;
Untethered like a loose balloon
Just drifting past the clouds.

You couldn’t reach me if you tried
And that was really strange,
‘Cause even just a block away,
I still was out of range.

My isolation was profound.
I felt so all alone;
And all because I did forget
To charge my #%&*# phone!
