Cellular Cell Mates

by A. Paige White



picture the children
ear buds sprouting
ears that want to hear


    Am I important?


empty verbiage
a tongue dance

    Can you hear me now?

Shimmering in sunlight like dust

      Can you see who I am?
       The picture under the picture?
Self expressive singular multiplication
Mote motet
  Texting Texting Texting
Do you see what I'm saying?
Sprint prints
mites in life with razr's

      Does anybody ever really listen to me?
     Does anybody ever really see me?


a cingular I
sprinting for a greater verizon tireless tale
of telling talent told

     Why am I here?
T Mobilized
Blackberry audio toxins
Next tale, Alltel
Onward flow slowing..
      Who am I? Why am I here?

Author's Note: Inspired by a line from "What now, Clyde?" by Becca Kinser and watching teenagers everywhere
***Hey Chaz! Gimme Chris's new cell phone# I wanna talk to 'im too when you get off the line with him! ***

This poem reinforces my decision not to own a cell phone. I have voice mail both at home and at the office, so I cherish that quiet time traveling to and from both. And to me there's nothing more annoying or rude than to have to listen to someone's personal conversation on a cell phone while riding the bus. To cell phone users take note...ARRHHH!!!
