A Poets Cell Phone

------------------

I’ve left it on rock ledges
elevators and bars
Taxicabs, backpacks
and motorcycles far

It sat on the Great Wall
as I walked away
And fell out of the raft
in Wyoming that day

It flew on the airplane
after I’d gotten off
Spending two days in Key West
Fedex as the cost

It’s kept me in touch
that’s important I know
But the voice it records into words
— much more so
