people are crowd talking
jammed on their phones
in cars, on city streets
hear the chatter?
doesn’t matter,
keep moving.
though i’m surprised more aren’t
running into each other.
in the future you’ll hear
talk crossing the borders of time
“Mr. Lincoln on line three.”
“Again? . . . tell him i’m in a meeting.”
when phones are imbedded
we can walk around talking
to everyone who isn’t there. RING!
“i’ll get it . . . since i’m the only one here. hello?”
“ i’m callin’ Michael uh Jackson , tell him it’s Elvis’s.”
“Oh, i recognize your voice, Elvis.”
“Well, will ya put Michael on.”
“i’m sorry, Elvis, you have the wrong number.” click!

It's amazing how ubiquitous cell phones have become. Sometimes I imagine the speakers are really only talking to themselves. It does seem like all this conversation could cross "wires" and travel through time.
