Hello?
Is anyone there?
Can you hear me?
It's okay... no one ever does
I just listen to the buzz
The humming over the wires
Wishing I could transform myself
To electrical particles...
Become a stream of data
Digitalized and sent ...
I'd flit from pole to pole
Faster than the fastest bullet train
Going Somewhere ....
Anywhere ...
Somewhere that is not here
Alone in this cramped space
Where he dumped me
When he was done
Discarded like a bag of trash
In this dark basement
With my dead phone
With my dead body
And the gnawing rats
