A Birthday and an Ex-Phone
Today is Francine's birthday, huzzah!
Let us walk down to the sea,
Just we two together
Past those white-washed houses
That stood too long and are
No longer homes,
Past the hungry shadows who
Would not learn to walk with us
Down to the sea.
Let us walk from our city
Apartments, you and I,
Through rolling vineyards (sweet
Grapes hung heavy in the sun)
And olive groves,
With our straw hats and baskets,
And gather for the pressing
All that we can.
Let others dream their
Lives in parking lots;
Seek with me the sea.
In other news, my phone has stopped working.
Oh, it turns on, it registers signal, it even lets you dial. The whole "talking to people on the phone" thing, however, has utterly failed.
The best part is, I don't actually remember the last time I received a call, and I haven't tried to call anybody in days, so I've no idea how long it's been this way.
The thing is, when hunting for jobs it's usually fairly vital to have a working telephone.
