Don't Hang Up!

Don't Hang Up

Your life is nothing
But a rumour whispered
Down the phone,
Anonomously.
But before you have
Time to think,
Or act,
They hang up
Suddenly.


So you press the button
For recall - trembling,
But it remains a mystery.
'Til with a chill,
You realise:

"My God!

That voice!

On the other end,

Was me!"




When you wake into the
Dead hours of the night:
Listen - can you hear?
Down in the dark hallway
The phone
Starts ringing
In your ears.
