the kitchen phone

why
am i holding onto the landline?
the old stand by
phone on
the kitchen wall. the one
with the black cord
that will reach
the basement steps.
if it's anyone
i know
calling on it,
they are calling from the great
beyond,
my mother and father
were the only
ones who tried
to reach me there and now
just telemarketers
from around
the world.
