Tele-non-communication.

Both my phones stay at home
in my never-locked hermitage.
Neither instrument has rung for weeks -
until today the fixed phone rang
and I actually picked it up,
looked at the dodgy number,
and, nevertheless, pressed the connect button.
Silent proof that there's nobody out there...

So I continued the blog I was composing
about originality.  
Somewhere I had read:

"Very few people are original.
Because to be original means you have to stand alone."  

To stand alone requires not just stubbornness
but also a feeling of otherness....
