Class is over.
While others run to eat lunch
I linger behind.
I find a corner
where the two pay phones reside
and choose the left one.
Quarter in my hand
and receiver in my grasp:
The phone call begins.
"Hello, RTF
I'm at school, so call me back."
Click - dial tone - wait.
Ring - Click - and "Hello"
I ignore the growing line;
I speak for too long.
"Good-bye," for class starts.
People glare as their cards fail.
They want calls to last.
Foolish are classmates
that do not know the phone rings
and use change instead.
