Best Redial Poems

Does the whole world need hearing aids
Or am I just that Dumb
I was trying to get hooked to the internet
But I was sure something was wrong
"I've got you signed up.
Now just hang up the phone
And redial the technicians
Just follow their instructions and you're on."
So I...

I awoke to the sound of a telephone ringing
                                   I reached...

Screw you,
And all of your friends too.

All that I’ve done for you,
And what we did do.

You always get me into trouble,
I want to fly away inside a giant bubble.

I thought we were mates and you dogged me,
You should go far and drown in the sea.

Don’t...

Late one All Hallows Eve, she woke to a lightning flash ...

A dread filled her as she realized the power was out.

Alone that night in her boyfriend's cabin by the lake,

She scratched through the inky blackness to find her cell phone.

Tunneling her fingers through the...

Never enough to give me life
Money, a future and a wife
Even the beauty of the world
Isn’t enough to save myself

Drifting and lonely ‘til the end
Honest reflection of this hell
Always I wanted to deny
That I could not save my shattered mind

Never connected to this earth
Always in...

I feel like I lost my essence, and lost the reason to be.
That cold February night that the wife walked out on me.
I try to pull out of self-pity, I've never been one for loathing.
I turn into a giant amongst ants, I'm a volcano exploding.

its alright
its okay
we feel and then we dont
these lives all form a sequence
to what end is for the show
feel good enjoy the onset
go low to see the sunset
some refer to context
minds at risk go unchecked
my toes pointed downward
heavier though lifted
silence is for cowards
timing a polar...

So many people have been so ready to get rid of 2020. Many say this was the worst year ever, but was it really? In the midst of thinking of how bad 2020 was and all that was wrong with this year, let’s reflect and...

Nature is generous to give a good sight
life is in full acceptance of this might
the longer is the trouser worn by light
from four to twenty two, deprived is night,
the sun is eager, the neighbourhood stays bright.

The city booms with different colours,
the countryside graces as the...

So, she said,
much to everyone's BusinessAsUsual
StraightWhiteMale
surprise,

Sew,
I run into your aversion
to unpatriarchal Principles of Reversion
whenever I deeply listen
to your dark passions first,
then redial,
notice,
[occasionally speak]
as if I trust what I can win/win hear
in PreVersed
unrehearsed response

To liberal GoldenRule applications
of sacred theological Law
restoring ecological 
Synergetic Order

Smelling and tasting,
Touching and...

I speed-dial her again: “Flatten the curve,
O muse - I’m dry from social distancing.”
“Abundance of caution”, she says. The nerve!
I press redial. “Please, help me write! Dance! Sing!”
Alas, my muse is self-isolating....

“I can’t come to the phone right now,
But leave your name and number
And I’ll call you back soon.
Beep!”
Her voicemail is full.
I end the call.
Redial.

birds were louder than usual
chattering in perky, excited way
squirrels and deer were in the yard.
Super close to house

I called out but no one answered.
The streets were full of cars.
Nobody was moving.

Silence north of me, odd.
Usually hear freeway sounds.
Fix coffee,  begin to drive. Realize I...
