Class is over. 
While others run to eat lunch 
I linger behind. 

I find a corner 
where the two pay phones reside 
and choose the left one. 

Quarter in my hand 
and receiver in my grasp: 
The phone call begins. 

"Hello, RTF 
I'm at school, so call me back." 
Click - dial tone - wait. 

Ring - Click - and "Hello" 
I ignore the growing line; 
I speak for too long. 

"Good-bye," for class starts. 
People glare as their cards fail. 
They want calls to last. 

Foolish are classmates 
that do not know the phone rings 
and use change instead.
