Crank Calling a Place of Business

By  Ryan Quinn Flanagan

 

There is much fun to be had

if you are willing to

have it

 

the scales tip back out

of blue moon

and into your waiting arms

 

glue

that’s known

as paste

 

bean counters

and jailhouse

confessions

 

the man

on the other end

of the line

 

who will not stop

screaming.
