another voice mail

i thought
i'd deleted every number
she called
me from. blocked
every avenue of despair,
but no.
somehow
she finds another phone
to dial me up on.
it turns out
to be a phone booth
near St. E's.
South Capitol Street,
i suspect she's now
a patient there.
the voice mail is familiar
though, same
old tale of woe.
how the world is so
unfair.
