Birds in a phone booth
We were like birds in a phone booth
dead serious in our conversation
as if there was a more important universe
than the school from which we skipped
as the last letters of the class
where multiplication was a lament
and the bible a deadly book
in our past, ever the past
of inkblots and ideas
like birds in a phone booth
as if our conversation were the universe
we had nowhere to go.
