This is a poem

This is not
a knotty poem

not a problem
to be solved

not some sort
of joke jest

or just a blog
post looking

for a pic
a prom corsage.

What it is
can’t be said

without it
disappearing

like an old
phone book entry

EAstgate 3128
for example

back in the day
before answering

machines when
comments off

meant leaving
the phone off

the hook spoiling
the party line.
