Dial Tone Poem by Josephine Lauderdale

Dial Tone



So he didn't call back
Was he busy?

To busy to pick up?

It's like that with God sometimes

I call and leave a message
I call him again
And hang up

I call him again
To see if he got my message

When will I call him again?

When will I trust the message I received?

I would not have to call back
If only I'd believed...

A fine poem that lives through ideas, a clever extended metaphor.
