It was Frank O Hara pointed out
You could just as well use the phone
As write poetry—solo instruments
Being equal. Bell, A.G.
Discovered the telephone
Hoping to find a machine
For the deaf—his bride
Couldn’t hear him;
Think of that first gizmo
As a sort of love poem…
I wish most days
I could describe how the phone works.
About poetry
We have all said too much—
The best of us know
We shouldn’t try to explain things
Now Spring has come.

Tom says he can’t tell if this is random channel surfing or stream of consciousness. I say it’s a heavy dose of each, combined with your own special humor.
