Man with a Phone

Man with a Phone

A Poem by Allen Smuckler
"

Lounging around the pool in Bonita Springs, Fla., I couldn't help but notice...

"
 

















A Coughing man with a baseball cap, and

a girl in green scratching and caressing

her tanless velvety legs.

Water cascading from the

unnaturally made stoic fountain...

 

And the man with the phone

in his ear, scrapes by my sunlit chair.

Couples lying and teasing each other

soaking long lost rays together

with eyes smiling for one another...

 

Palms playing and swaying in the cool breeze    

protecting and shadowing those

who chose the shade over sun.

And a man with a phone attached to his ear

glides pass the unsuspecting couple.

 

The owl and the eagle peering and

observing from their precarious perches

lifeless in their tachadermal state

expecting more of the very same

yet only a busy signal leaves its mark.

 

shiftless, shirtless man on the shelf above

gingerly stepping into the steamless pool

again the man with the phone in his ear

ambling and gambling with his call

and only he knows what we don’t.
