I Was

I was
in the garage
today
when my
cell phone
went off
I
had the
ear bud plugged in
but it had fallen
from my ear
and was
now
inside my T-shirt
hanging now
like dew from a plant
Fumbling with the
phone
I pressed the talk button
and realized
I’d have to dig
the ear piece out
of my shirt while
a voice was calling
“James, James, are you there?”
“Yes, how are you?” I spoke
to the air as
I dug for the
ear piece
“This is, Bonnie.”
I could hear from deep inside
my shirt
great
my
boss
