on the other end

purple emerald sunset
captured by modern technology
instead of calling my friends
I let them become my eyes
please leave a message
after the beep, and I'll get
back to your sensations
with a picture or a poem
sorry I'm not available
instead be patient and
dream of violet jade evenings
protecting the dark outlines
of life below, give me a call
you here and me there
and let's create memories
with our quick gadgets
uniting sound and sight
in the common goal
of no longer feeling
quite so alone on the other end
of a simple telephone line


on the other end
