My cell phone keeps me company 
It takes me everywhere 
It won’t leave home without me 
It’s glued to my left ear    

I’m really lost without it 
I don’t know who I am 
I hope to recognize me 
when we Zoom or video cam 

Ring just once   and then hang up 
so I know just who you are 
If I don’t ring back   right away 
you know you’ve gone too far  

Am I in   or am I out  
Am I truth    or fiction 
Whisper sweet nothings in my ear 
I’ll make you my addiction    

You can shelve a book 
neglect a look   But 
why watch Netflix   on TV 
when you can stare
at your own cell-f
for an E-ter-ni-ty 

A blank screen   is all I need  
to watch my empty mind 
which is why I never call me 
and why I’m going blind 

My bell phone  my hell phone  
my prison   my cell  
If any of this rings true with you 
please! send me an email
