Four Forty two pm,
No doubt Winters near its start,
Phone fell,
Not a call,
But call was dropped,
Ruth heard me and spoke,
Ruth was my Marko Polo,
The phone slender as a scrawny modle,
It slips right through the side of the chair,
I stood on my head,
I got on one knee,
Bent forward as far as I could,
Found a knarly fork,
Fork last used in the Crusades,
Ruth still spoke,
My fingers reached it,
No good slide completely through,
I was sure it was lost,
Forever!
