phone won't charge

i get a piece of something stuck
inside
my phone, the little opening
where i insert
one of a handful of chargers
i have lying around
the house
and in the car.
but i can't get the charger in.
there's a shard of plaster
stuck inside,
or a donut crumb,
or paint, or some bread pudding
i had for lunch
the other day.
could be coffee, or a soda
dried and clogging up
the works.
i'm down to ten per cent.
my life is about to end
as i know it, i'm in a panic,
the phone cost 900 dollars
and it's about to die
an early death,
so i take it in to the phone
shop,
where the guy takes a tooth
pick out
of his mouth and cleans
out the tiny rectangular
opening,
he plugs it in and says,
there you go. you're back in
business.
i shake his hand like a madman,
i give him a giant bear hug,
grateful and happy
for his technical assistance.
