Long Caller id Poems

The Ash Can  ©

I got the call on Sunday night.  I was traveling on business.  When I looked at the caller ID
 I wondered why my husband’s boss would be calling me....

ALABASTER ANTHEMS

As artists we should realize that inspiration is often born of pain,
Of loss, suffering, of cob-webbed corners with spiders the size of cats.
But even we eschew the dark masterpieces written for catharsis
In favor of...

The Moocher

Most families have one or two
“Loans” from you they pursue
And never fail to assuredly say

So worthy I am of your complete trust
Never would I stoop to...

Early on that morning
I wracked my brain
Trying to solve
A computer glitch

As I left the wretched machine
I rose and felt suddenly dizzy
And as the room spun

I chided myself
Saying this isn’t worth
Your having...

Your the one, I know, who will laugh at her, and she'll fall

Telephone rings
Announcing your name
Caller ID pings
This is so insane
Selfish acts of subterfuge
Leaving us both confused
Despite the tightening noose

What’s that you say?
Have I learned...

				Or putting my money in a new account.

Sleep deprived
And my phone
Still rings
The caller id
Says it all
Bad news

Sleep deprived
I'm too nice
You take advantage
And I know this
Is going no where
But it feels nice

Sleep deprived
I say no
But your kiss
Reminds me of
Something I'm missing
And I lay...

She won’t appreciate it. Don’t tell her.
But what if she is grateful.
Don’t be silly.
Some people might want me to tell them.
Not her. You know her.

I do not know her well, but my naysayer is in...

I'm sitting here alone
Looking at a cloudless sky 
Hoping that you'll phone
So I can hear your voice, that's why

I love it when you do
Excited, yes indeed
When I see you are calling 
I answer with all...

I took a ride that was more like a slide
Down a track called the credit card way
It had no stops and I couldn't get off
But they demanded I pay and pay

My pass was a card...

Waiting! Hoping!
Anxious, nervous, fingers tapping!
Missed call once, missed again!
Sadness rules, joy eludes
Truly upsetting, frustration sets in
Telephone rings, Caller ID glaring!
Heart’s pounding, adrenaline energizing
Melodious voice sailing; through the wire, flowing!
Hearts melting! Voices blending
Sparks’ leaping!  Excitement...
