Phones on the Way Home Phones Light the way home The silent companion A friend that breaks the monotony of journeys Spent in close proximity To faces that remain unstudied And eyes steadfast unmet Smiles never received or given And words forever silent unexchanged An escape and interaction With friends displayed on screen Rather than the reality Of engaging a stranger Phones The only friend you'll ever need Until you need a friend _____________________________ Photo taken during evening rush hour, London Underground
