Abstract
City of Ringing Telephones Matt McBride (bio) Most buildings are motels whispering the fluorescents’ benediction. The moon sheds a dry soap. A woman is asleep on the TV. Everything’s covered in Saran wrap after use. Rotary phones ring continually. Motes of gnats sneeze from their receivers. And when you answer you’ll answer, saying Don’t call me citizenunless you mean it.
