My phone stands as silent
as the Pyramids
though much less visited
My letterbox tells me of new
pizza parlours
and yet more life insurance
(Last week I won
eight million pounds
from the "Readers Digest")
I open my Fish and Chips
ready meal
Where's my glasses? Oh God!
I have them on my head
The back of the box
says "Best to oven cook"
Thirty-five minutes
Whilst waiting I glance
over the Pyramid
at my no-texts received
new mobile smart phone
It too is a silent
black obelisk;
Obelisks and pyramids
lonely as ticking time
accompany my wait
Thirty-Five Minutes to go
for the Great Event
