Miscommunication

Far Away and Losing Touch

can’t seem to get a good connection
Old Ma Bell says,
"There’s too much static on the line, dear."
man, does she have that right.
my mom used to tell me that
there were too many birds sitting on the wires!
what are they doing there anyway,
sitting spellbound
as if they’re in some chorus line,
listening to all the conversing
humming along the wires?

wish I could "reach out
and get the long distance feeling"
(well not exactly the feeling I was going for!)
maybe just reach out
and get any feeling ….
but
guess I’ll just have to hang up
(my hang-ups get me every time!!)
and try again later….
when the lines of communication

are open
