    • Verse 1
    I'm a victim 
    of telephone. 

    When 
    I lay 
    down to sleep, 

    dream the 
    wishing well, it rings. 


    Have you a new 
    play 

    for the broken down 
    theater? 

    When I 
    write in my notebook 

    poem, it 
    rings. 

    Buster Keaton's 
    under the Brooklyn Bridge 


    on Frankfort and 
    Pearl. 

    When I unsheathe 
    my skin, 

    extend 
    my cock towards 
    someone's thighs, 


    fat or thin, 
    boy 
    or girl, 
    ting 
    -a -ling, 

    please 
    get him out of jail, 

    the police 
    are crashing down. 

    When I lift 
    the 
    soup spoon to 
    my lips, 

    the phone 
    on the floor begins 
    purring. 

    Hello, 
    it's me. 

    I'm in the park 
    with two 

    bros from 
    Iowa. 

    Nowhere to 
    sleep last 
    night. 

    Hit him in the 
    mouth. 

    When I'm 
    mused at smoke 

    crawling over 
    the 
    roof 

    outside 
    my street 
    window 

    purifying 
    eternity 

    with my eye 
    observation 

    of gray vaporous 
    columns 
    in the sky. 

    Ring ring. 
    Hello. This is 

    Esquire. 

    Be a dear and finish 
    your 
    political 

    commitment manifesto. 

    When 
    I listen to radio 
    presidents 

    roaring on 
    the convention floor, 

    the 
    phone 
    also chimes 
    in. 

    Rush up 
    to Harlem with 
    us 

    and see the 
    riots. 

    Always 
    a telephone 
    linked to all 
    the 
    hearts of the world 
    beating at once, 

    crying, 
    my 
    hus
    band's gone, 

    my boyfriend's 
    busted forever, 

    my poetry 
    was rejected, 

    won't you come 
    over for money and 

    please 

    won't you write 
    me a piece of bullshit, 


    how are you dear, 

    can you come to 
    East Hampton, 

    we're 
    all here bathing 
    in the ocean, 


    we're all so 
    lonely, 

    and I laid 
    down back on 
    my palate 

    contemplating 
    a 
    50 phone 
    bill, 

    broke, 
    drowsy, 
    anxious, 

    my 
    heart fearful 

    of the fingers 
    dialing, 
    the 
    death, 

    the 
    singing of the 
    telephone bells, 

    ringing 
    at dawn, 

    ringing 
    all afternoon, 

    ringing up 
    midnight, 

    ringing 
    now 
    forever.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
