Honorable Mention Blackie Strikes Out Frank Faust blackie casts an eye across his life isn't happy at what he sees there an empty cup down to dregs and remnants of better times so easy to fill in younger days when nobody he knew knew any better can't fool himself any more it's down to nothing what kind of man am I what do I stand for who do I have to share with I am alone I know nobody I can talk to about the world I see the way I live nobody who can keep me warm in the cold long nights that creep around me to the early hours I am not living at all this is too empty blackie runs a finger through the personals in the local paper finds woman seeks a man for companionship must be interested in art or books or movies or socialising over dinner over music over the dancing floor call this number please leave a message and your number blackie clutches at the telephone holds it in his hand against his chin tries to think of words to say that sound a little clever when he says them underneath his breath dials 1902 then 334 and the rest of it waits for the dialling to end hand shaking hi this is ellie thanks for calling I'd really love to meet you say hello to me I'll call you back blackie stares at the wall his throat is dry and he forget the clever thing mumbles into the silence as follows I'm lonely places the phone back in it's cradle repeats it to the kitchen I'm lonely ~ |
