NOTE TO READERS: This is an interactive poem, and you MUST say your lines OUT LOUD in order for this long distance communications experiment to work. I'm counting on you...
Long Distance (hello?)
Stick a finger in your ear and
(out loud)
shout, “ GOT IT ? ”
(now listen)
If I don’t reply immediately
(that doesn’t mean)
it didn’t work
(but it may mean)
you didn’t say it loud enough.
(That’s OK, we’ll try it again)
I’m sticking a finger in my ear
(right now)
say, “ GOT IT ! ”
(you see?)
It worked.

I found this a bit brain frazzling
