bed time stories

it is funny how
phone calls become
nothing more
than an annoyance of reality
look at the cell phone babes
in their S.U.V. realities
running reds
dancing through stop lines
telling everyone
the toll is on them
ring ring
dance
and trolly about
the saxophone's
be-bop
and one will simply accept
that there are pauses
and the world's not
seen by the caller's pacifity
found through
a tall glass of whole, whole milk
with a cookie
baked by someone else that smiles
a smile so big to pay the bill
for their cell phone
