Floated in the void

between the stars

is a dark matter

 

a dark matter

where cell phone

messages go

 

where messages go

that have been received

but never listened to

 

never listened to

never really communicated

and communication is important

 

I mean, really important

That’s what I’ve been informed.

It’s like the Laws of the Universe

 

And like the Laws of the Universe

it is irrevocable. So

I keep it with me always

 

I keep it with me

and I don’t shut it off.

I listen to all of my messages.

 

I listen to them

even if they disturb my neighbors

even if the music of their call is a bother

 

So when the music sounds

I listen to my messages

I keep them out of the dark matter.
