Words on the Wire


One connection
You cannot make
No line
No number to call

The writer is of no use
A commitment to print
Is excluded
As if a metaphor for life

Words wrapped in meaning
Are best trapped on the wire
No record
No misrepresentation

Fair to be unfair
Outstare the stare
Forget the past time
Time allocated otherwise
