It's You? Isn't It?

IT'S YOU? ISN'T IT? Facebook messages me to phone home as soon as possible. Our home phone is down. Other phones just ring and ring. Or lead me up a cul-de-sac of leaving a message to a ghostly mechanical voice. Messages answering messages. No actual real live people involved. Finally I do what I should have done all along (((((((call you.)))))) So, I do. "Hiya Bud, can you call me? Something bad seems to have happened! Get back to me as soon as you can! " You do not call back. You lie there not listening to me. You never get back to me. Never will. It's you? Isn't it? The bad thing that has happened? Death listening at the end of the line. Saying not a word.
