I'm sick of it,
Of that message tinkling bell
Interrupting my thoughts
Once again.
I need to have the phone on
Waiting for that message
That will fix my book cover.
A ring, I pick it up,
No, it's only trivia
I pick up a dirty sock
Lying on the floor,
And put the phone inside
That's much better.
I pick up the other sock
Better to keep them in pairs
Don't you think?
There's a bump in it
I wonder what is it.
Shaking the sock
A diamond earring
I've been looking for
Slides on the table.
Dirty socks are so useful!
After some time
Silence, pure silence,
Uninterrupted silence
Came up from the phone in the sock
The battery ran flat.
I need the phone charger
Where did it go?
In another dirty sock maybe.
