Silent Ringing | 2010
In the summer of 2010 I wrote a series of short poems which I compiled into a Visual Sketchbook. This is Entry #7
I cannot keep you
on general ringing
flickering and vibrating
every two seconds or three
rendering all the other single girls
feeling lonely; naked
as your incessant light flashes
on and off and off and on
bringing me dangerous news
of someone wishing to speak words
that they would not approve
of me hearing
as my phone continues to ring
and I continue to stare
paralyzed by the blue lights.
