we were phoning in
from
a
phony home
from
the back of beyond
from
a backward glance
keeping
a
respectful distance
elbow bumps
and
insecticide
contagion
we were phoning in
from a diffident world
and
we traced
a long
stain
running
down
the pavement
let's raise a glass
let's raze
a world
let's dance and sing
let's
keep our distance
