Ninety nine contacts
Scrolling up.
Center.
Past.
Gone.
Ninety nine names
With ninety nine voices
And flesh.
And blood.
And bone.
Ninety nine lives
Re /
duced
To ninety nine numbers.
(2 99 #’s)
Souls circulated like
Business cards.
Ninety nine entries
Of ninety nine strangers
And calling them friends.
Clutching this phone
Like my favorite sin.
