 Frankly, I Don't Give a Damn

Shay’s Word Garden All of the words on this week’s List are taken from Zachary Schomburg’s book The Man Suit

The telephone doesn’t jangle anymore
and the lumberjacks keep axing questions
sound has not been disillusioned for
there are still cellists to saw a simple tune
though there is one sound that rings
like a revolver shot to the heart
the hollow thud of an empty mailbox
at the end of the deserted street.
