WAKE-UP CALL

# 4

The wake-up call woke me,
grabbed the copper vintage rotary
phone, no line. The ringing
continued, where? Hung up the
wall phone in the bathroom.

Grandpa gets up to change the channels
Grandma has a rotary phone
Microwaves scare them to bits

Computers
Cell phones

How Can You Tell My Age

In my mind’s eye: 
I still hang up 
the rotary phone,
as I hear conversations
on the party line. 
My hands flip albums
on the turntable;
and adjust the TV
antennae. My hair
flies in the wind,
as I ride in the back
of a pick-up truck,
on an old island highway.

The State of the Marketplace

Cut from glass
Cut from flesh
My steel windows peer
From hilltops to the marketplace

Rotary clubs banishing good taste
With taxes to fill up the State
Now following fault lines
To earthquake insure the day, stay awake

Insurance claims fake a new mistake
Numbers surround the climax of fate
Urging paper weights to cover shifting sands
Allow us to stand anew

Not Nonsense

A crab sidewinds
The windowsill
With the Earth
In his hands,
Whilst a mouse
With a red breast
Smiles and gives a wink
To the lizard in the lounge.

Mars is using
The rotary 
On 16 and 17
For spittoon practice,
Whilst the Defence
Refuses to move 
Her boat from duty
At the pelican on Pall Mall.

Each thought is
Thinking another,
With the wisdom
Of a penguin crossing
The road at a 
Zebra crossing;
That be some,
But not a lot!
