here we go
another serial cluster of calls
coming at all hours
caller ID shows when it is him
from now on it's his choice
of whether or not he answers the call
curiosity usually makes him pick up
the ringing phone what's on the other end
what's he got to say tonight
he's not doing anything else
might as well give a listen tonight
claims he can turn on his CD player
with his mind and pause it too
'listen' he says
as he proves his talent over the phone
it's all he can do to keep from laughing
he's dreaming his own rage against the machine
that no one can somehow avoid
and get caught 'pause, you hear that?'
and so he lights a stinky clove
someone else left behind
he sits in the corner
almost ten minutes
and never stayed on the same subject
more than 45 seconds or so
he claims he is somehow
a JEDI knight
science fiction and reality mesh
in his boxed up bedroom
sharing the house with his mom
nothing wrong with the picture
it's simply what it's become
after thirty something years...
