The Phone

Poetry, Published 2009, Six Sentences. 

How much control do we give our cell phones?

“It’s pure audacity of an inanimate object to create such a gap between us so wide that we are unknowns to each other during the day. Such a thing of disdain is the cell phone. The phone itself acted in superiority, knowing that it could trump my importance with a mere ring and a little jiggle of its own. It gleamed with that knowledge, got shinier and more proud with every call taken in my presence. This phone was a mere parasite sucking away what belonged to me. It was always there… looming… knowing the power it held to separate me from my loved one albeit with a flash of its own.”
