Daily Photo: A Call Home from London (four)

“In 1991, few North Koreans had ever used a telephone.
You had to go to a post office to make a phone call.”
Barbara Demick

A Call Home from London

Oh look at the wannabe telephone booths
And mini-mes in the window!
They look like things from my youth
From the times of bell bottoms and discos

A Call Home from London

“London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don’t look to us”
– The Clash

“Call me on the line, call me any day or night” Blondie

Call Me

“Use the phone:
Just dial the numbers!

No Twitter
No Facebook
No Instagram
No damned text messages!

That’s it:
Use your fingers
Push the buttons
Numbers
One by one
Put the receiver
Against your ear
Can you hear
The ring tone?

That’s it!

Use
Your
Own
Voice

And just,
Call me!”

“We’re on a road to nowhere” Talking Heads

On a Road to Nowhere

On the road to nowhere
In a hurry, to get there
I would rather be elsewhere
But instead
I want to go everywhere
I want to get
Connected
