Editing Wall-Mounted Telephone

===Wall-Mounted Telephone=== [[Real Estate Agent Fridge Magnet Calendar|<<]] [[The Dignified Kitchen -- by Philip J. Miner|index]] [[Afterward|>>]] ::: On any other wall You might almost seem Preposterous— But there, Hanging humbly beneath the clock, Though loftier still than the Tea cozies, You are somehow tonal. So tonal, in fact, That were it not For the fitful Tolling of your Bells You might go unnoticed entirely. How easily we might Forget, That far more readily than The window or the door— More so even than The vent above the stove— And just as wholly As the television Above the microwave (Yet so much more democratic)— You are our portal outside. Perhaps, (As we have already Sprinted lightly over) Your reign here Is not supreme: After all, by Time & Time alone the hours are told. But friend, Your calls (however redirected) Find no origin In the orderly Mechanics of above—though equally primor- Dial— Those same feeble, distant cords, Now Endow Bakelite And such The role of Meeting hands— You may even find Yourself the last receiver. And perhaps not— But there is one thing for certain: Despite all trespass— Cellular, Acellular— Even if you are stripped Clean of your proud 911 badge-- My friend, As long as there are kitchens, And sorts of wall, You shall have your place. ::: [[Real Estate Agent Fridge Magnet Calendar|<<]] [[The Dignified Kitchen -- by Philip J.
