Tamara De Lempicka

"Mobile Phone"

Rrrring...!  Rrring..! Rring...!
Hello?!?

A bridge over gaps
That overcomes their anxiety to belong
Their desire to cling on
Their aspirations of inclusion
Into this judgmental existence
That we breathe
In our lungs...

With the ringing,
Your status uplifted
Without it,
You're nothing to the world
A minute Character
Unlisted...
Untouched
Not in the A-class of society
The outcast

These infinitesimal machines
In their hands
Ringing, without ceasing

Hello?!?
They say,
The superficial greetings
