thump, thump thump
of the beat in the ear
as it waits, waits, waits
for a call drawing near
beep, beep, beep
of the phone in the ear
as it signals the call
of a voice drawing near
blah, blah, blah
speaks a voice in the ear
as it yaks, yaks, yaks
from a lip and a sneer
roll, roll, roll
of the eyes from the ear
listening to the call
it wishes it didn't hear
roar, roar, roar
is the whine in the ear
it brews and it bubbles
as a full glass of beer
yip, yip, yip
still the bark in the ear
voice gripes, gripes, gripes
from the pain in the rear
sigh, sigh, sigh
are ghosts avoiding ear
who fall from the breath
from the eye falls a tear
drips, drips, drips
leaky mouth in the ear
a minute turns to ten
turns to a week and a year
click, click, click
sudden sounds in the ear
the call must have dropped
great relief, even cheer
