One day I will get a phone

And on that day, the whole world will know

I will stand on the rooftops

Lift banners to the sky

I will scream and shout and grin until my lips split open wide

I will enter all the numbers that are stored inside my brain

On scraps of paper and in notebooks-

All these names!

And numbers, my uncles and cousins and aunts and friends

My niece and bestie, Grandma, teacher

Sisters, brothers... boyfriend

I'll text everyone and say guess who got a phone

Then I'll download Facetime and...

                             "Hey baby, I got a phone!!!!"
