People don't hold hands anymore. I walk and watch a bunch.
They hold their cell phones - so various and intimately - fingers and palms
doing this and that. Depending on the hand, there are times when I wouldn't
mind being a cell phone. But then there is the issue of the voice, the
content. Somebody said, "cell phone conversations are the restoration of
narrative." ("Yes, I am coming out of baggage, I am almost to the curb, O,
that's you, right there in the car! Isn't that funny?").
Unless it be my muse, I suspect I don't want to ever be a cell phone.
Excuse me, I got a call!
