the blocked numbers list

I look at my list of blocked phone numbers
on my cell phone.

I scroll down through
about five hundred of them.

most are telemarketers, then there are a few
relatives.

old loves.
new almost friends. trouble makers,
agitators.

etc.

a few wives are on there too.

it's funny how you can go from talking
everyday.
texting.
sending little heart or kiss emojis
to being blocked

and discarded as if they never existed.

i'm sure i'm on a few lists too.

oh well.
the phone's ringing, got to go.
