Answerphone

his voice is the one tone I dreaded to hear
unavoidable fact turned ice in my ear
loud ringing decibels confirming my fear
flippant ‘can’t take your call’ a stinging smug cheer
seven bus stops away but discomfort is near.

detecting- believing- the influence of beer
repugnant reasons for his knowing jeer
detesting his fumbling, his sleazy base leer.

with hindsight employed I think nothing is clear;
still holding the line i'm still holding her dear
