An eloquence there is in calls unanswered:
\nThe handset surely rivets to my head;
\nAs if you sense my call is about cancer
\nAnd hesitate to answer since I’m dead.<\/p>\n
The reasons you don’t answer could be many:
\nYou’ve died, or else your vital limbs are broken;
\nYou can’t be screening calls, for that’s unfriendly,
\nAnd curses such as mine are best unspoken.<\/p>\n
I’ll try just ten more times and hope you answer;
\nThen concentrate and make you want my call:
\nAnd so, enacting our imagined banter,
\nI’ll dial through spring and summer into fall.<\/p>\n
I’m hanging up, and hope you truly burn
