#APoemADay Day 3 – Phone PsychoBabble

Off the phone. Must stay off the phone.

            Sit still for heaven’s sake -

            Feel the moment -

            They come along only once

            In a lifetime, after all -

            PING – Oh, damn

            Must check – it could be

            My mother – my sister -

            It might be important.

            Oh – EE have sent my bill -

            There now, leave it alone.

Off the phone. Must stay off the phone.

            I wonder if work

Have responded

            To that email yet? -

            Really should check

- It might be important

- Oh, nothing yet -

Well it’s always better

To check – don’t want to

Miss anything important –

But still, that’s enough -

 Just leave it now.

Off the phone. Must stay off the phone.

            Can’t remember where

            Exactly this event is -

            Will be there soon -

            The address was on  the email

 - Better check

- It could be important -

There’ll be a map -

Although - mind you -

Since the upgrade

Maps sends me to

Addresses in the US -

See there you go -

Checking again -

Just leave it now.

Off the phone. Must stay off the phone

            Just think of all the

            Masterpieces that

            Could’ve been written

            In the time

            I’ve been checking -

            It’s mad when you think

            About it really -

            I bet Mozart and Beethoven

            Didn’t have to cope

            With this sort of distraction –

            That’s a good thought actually -

            Maybe I’ll post it on Facebook

            So all my friends can comment -

            ‘What could you be doing

            Instead of checking your phone?’

             - It could start a revolution!

- Talking of which

Wasn’t there an uprising

In, now, - where was it?

- It’ll be trending on Twitter

- Must check

It could be important.
