Dead Battery Poem by Susan Lacovara

Lucky for me,
the cell phone lost it's last bar
of signal strength
and the battery went dead
Just as I was about to pour myself
Into a flask for you
To carry in your hip pocket...
All full of kind kisses
And a million misses

Some devine intervention
Or cell tower interception
Kept me from emptying out all the gallons
Of gushing giddy overzealous
Sometimes jealous
candy coated gooey gumdrop
gotta tell him now notions
that really make no sense
To anyone, but me...
Overtired, a little wired
Best that the conversation was expired
The call drop, at precisely the moment
When too much could have been said
Without giving it much thought.
