Pay Phones

I see a pay phone here and there And wonder ‘bout the users – An anti-mobile group, perhaps, Or chronic cell-phone losers? The days of phone booths passed us by – Clark Kent would be confounded, As those who died ten years ago Would surely be astounded. Yet still, some pay phones do exist – Your money buys you time, But likely you no longer get Three minutes for a dime. I’m sure such phones will disappear Like those with finger dials, Consigned to life as “retro” finds, To bring nostalgic smiles.
