We’re sorry, the number you dialed has been
temporarily disconnected… temporarily disconnected… temporarily disconnected…
Did you hear what I projected?
Has this come so unexpectedly?
Avoiding the signs?
Ridding them from the sim cards of your minds?
Fools driving ‘round here like they’re blind
Do you mind staying in your own lane and off my bumper?
All swerving over here
while I’m shooting the “don’t play with the stare”
when I pull up beside you or glare in my rearview mirror,
and there you have it!
Cell phone in hand up to the ear…
Cigarette, burger, lipstick in the other
Why am I not surprised?
Sometimes… sometimes
I wish I wasn’t so nice
and didn’t think twice about my actions.
So many times I just imagine
getting out of my ride
coming up to that idiot’s driver-side
and Errrr!
But that’s just not my demeanor;
how I wish I could be meaner.
Instead, I look off into the distance hoping the
jerk gets pulled over and hit with a hefty fine to pay.
Though I know that’ll be today.
I’ve witnessed cops driving the same exact way!
Got to face reality.
I “am” a minority
A dying breed
One of the few who can conceive
life without his cell phone.
People were once resistant to being accessible at all times;
now they’re insistent about always
keeping that radio wave contraption ring tone up
annoying people on the Septa bus
with their ear flashing
snugly fitted and glued deeply into their canals
making of deaf and oblivious to what surrounds them.
Awaiting that urgent call or emergency that rarely happens.
Find them in movie theaters talkin’ bout nothin’ and laughin’
No respect for other patrons!
expecting us to have patience
as they carried on a 15 minute obnoxious conversations!
Makes me want to yell out
“Why don’t you shut the…”
But uh… That’s not how it plays out.
I usually just pout and talk about how rude the person is to whoever’s with me.
It just gets me so teed off!
But even the person with me sometimes gets on my nerves
turning me into a person of few words.
As they accept call after call
when we’re supposed to be hanging out at the mall!
Everyone on your cells
got so much to say
but detached from the people who are right in their face
RIGHT IN THEIR FACE!
RIGHT IN THEIR FACE!
If you’d like to make a call
please hang up and try your call again.
If you need help,
hang up and dial your operator…
