You’re Never Alone with a Phone

 

 

 


You're never alone with a phone.

Or a dog.

Or a child.

Or a miserable partner.

Or a paper cup of coffee.

Or a walking stick.

Or a mobility scooter made up as a Harley Davidson.

Or a personal number plate.


But you are alone, if you commit suicide when you’re seventy-nine.

Or when there’s no one to cuddle you in the evening.

Or make you a drink.

Or listen to you.

Or love you.

Or be loved by you.

Or when you haven’t spoken for a day.

Or when you realise that a holiday is pointless.
