a quarter in a borehole

​2/20/18 11:30PM

there is a mineshaft in South Africa

that is deeper than any grave

three thousand meters down

almost two clicks on an odometer

if you fell down this shaft

A phone would take twenty five seconds

to ring and go to voicemail

It’d stop ringing

Right at the bottom

and between bottles

I wonder who I’d pick up for

But I know that the only call made

Would be just like a man in the air

Declined

And outgoing  

No matter how deep I can get

When I scribble down this shit

Moab Khotsong is deeper

And at the very least

Produces uranium
