Love for 25 Cents

Fishing the token out of my pocket
I lift the receiver and listen
Greeted by a monotone invitation to
Complete the transaction
I insert with delicate assertiveness and
Am met with a satisfying sound
I press five of your digits with a
Steady confidence
Five musical notes in rapid succession
A staccato reply to my deliberateness
I stop at six...
Lingering for an extra moment.
Without dialling the seventh I
Step away
Slowly
While the quarter clinks and clanks
Dropping into the
Return
Slot
Below.
I leave it for the next caller
In need of change

There is a definite carnal feel to this poem - sex with very little chance of a phone call, perhaps? I would be curious to know her version of events.

| I have read this poem multiple times, and everytime I read it I take away new meaning. This is a sign of great poetry! |
