Call for Help
After lying down amongst the string and rubber stamps
or whatever is to hand
and sleeping the cool long line between Fridays
I remembered there’s a phone number you can call
to hear a glacier melting in real time
from anywhere in the world
which by coincidence
is where I was at the time.
I tried to call the melting glacier but
found that the glacier had been disconnected in 2008
and my doctor’s engaged tone was dripping
endlessly that half hour into
Jökulsárlón lagoon.
