that clicking noise on the phone

there was a slight
clicking noise on the phone
whenever i used it
in conversation
with friends and relatives,
for work.
that's when i first suspected
that things were amiss.
had she really tapped the phone?
was she really listening in
on calls?
was i being followed too?
and i had just bought her
a pearl necklace for no reason
at all and took us 
on a Mediterranean cruise.
was there money missing 
from the bank account too?
you're the last to know,
of course, you fool.
