In the larger scheme of things…

Don’t Pick Up That Phone

rather pick-up sticks
or hexagram wands
or telegrams
instructions for hallucinations
delusions of grandeur
conjure objects of desire
or the lack thereof, whereof
while writing trivial essays
about wealth and gain
at the expense
of the sane and insane
depending on my 
contradictory points of view
rather than so natural
a born leader’s perspectives
don’t pick up that phone
if you’d rather… NOT
