'A: My Troll-Interpol Would Clobber Him To Death



Called a strange voice, Madam, you have
won a great new cell-phone with unheard-
of-before capacities, where shall it be
delivered – I’m waiting for the catch –
Madam, give me your bank number –
the Madam refuses; mellifluous voice
stating in dulcet tones - It is common
procedure to divulge your bank details
if you want what we’re offering…

But I never even listened to his litany of
attributes of this intrusive new phone,
happily I scare him with my Troll-Interpol
who would clobber him to death should I
reveal any personal details to a cell-phone-
toting stranger; besides, a stranger who
congratulates me for being simply a living
human being will never win my confidence!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
David Taylor 27 June 2008

And do you ever listen to the wind that constantly calls to tell you, you did win, the body and the mind and heart of a simply living human being and will you divulge to him the reasons and the sums you make of them that tell you, you must darkly hide within?
