The Phone

Dog days

 

It's almost four
at dusk,
and the phone on my table
has not rung—
but once;
an automated call
to remind me 
about the nearing 
recharge bill.

I have to pay

soon...

Hmm...

    Here the message holds a question, is it the lack of money, or the question of whether it is worth putting money on something not used. A hanging question for the author and reader. Nicely done

      Yes Mr. Sorren. I feel we are killed with devices of connection that never seem to work as much as the bills flow

        Technology is a two edged sword

        It seems you always have to pay the piper.
        Probably why all bad news comes at four in the morning.
