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!

It's funny how something we never had suddenly becomes a panic situation when we don't have it now. I think my kids would flake out if they lost their cell phone.
