I don't like Answering Machines
I don’t like answering machines For being so far, touching is nar close For being alone, it doesn’t fill the gap For being lonely, it nary compensates I don’t like answering machines It is a simple message Played over and over to many Yet never changing to trained ears I don’t like answering machines Not at this particular moment For my longing for you grows Untill I lay awake with tears on my toes I don’t like answering machines It lacks your inflections Those little notes you make that drive me wild Those small tones within your throat that bring me to peace I don’t like answering machines It fails to hold your mind It relays naught your heart For in it, I nary can touch your soul I don’t like answering machines For to speak to it is to gain no replay To whisper to it is redundant in peace For to question it is to gain nary an answer I don’t’ like answering machines For a hoping heart, it does no justice For a lonely soul it holds no joy For a troubled mind it holds no peace I don’t like answering machines You may argue, but I will still believe this to be true To simply speak onto a machine I don’t’ like them, simply because it’s not you… Written April 19th, 2002 © on Apr 19 2002 04:27 AM PST 18 • 0 • 8
