……………………………………….

I’m waiting for that cell phone to ring.
It never does.
Who would call me, anyway?

.
Sometimes the face lights up
Like I’m about to receive a call,
And I jump, flip open the lid;

But, no one is there.

Why?

What is it with a cell phone?
A black cell phone.
Perhaps a different color will do.
