Please, Hang Up, and Try Your Call Again

Please, Hang Up, and Try Your Call Again

A Poem by Elephants & Coyotes

I've been adding more green leaves
And flower buds to my mask,
Lately,
I even cut away, a bit,
To reveal the scar above my eye.

Though,

I had to paint on more smileys
With glitter,
The other day,
To counter the angled eyes
That cut right through them.


But then,

Someone ripped off
The string on the right.

So, now, it,
Occasionally,
Swings -

Back
And then forth
And then back
And then forth,

Unless, I make a conscious effort,
To hold it up to my face.

But,
For now,

I don't give a 
Cut phone cord.
