Disconnected
By A. I. M. Lawal
Before the phone rings you get a message.
Discouraged you realize that your friend’s line has been discontinued.
This issue is due to the simple fact they did not pay their dues to their service provider.
Perhaps someone answered but their accent did not match your expectations.
The conversation was an abbreviation of common society but that’s another conversation B.
Our generation seeks not to be chained to one line but to a profile.
Our bank accounts, much like our social profiles, are designed to be agile meanwhile our attachments to traditional connection lines are cut.
But this is not to say that we are unable to answer the call if summoned by society.
To think that it is a casualty to our community that we treat our phone numbers like single use contraceptives is in error.
In our calculus our little black book looks digitally different.
We still manage to pay the rent even if the phone line is sacrificed.
Roll the dice and never think twice.
We are slightly disconnected from society but this does not mean that we can not be reached.
One must breach the economic vail that prevails in American rationality.
In reality we realize that there is more than one way to skin a cat; holler back.
