the telephone operator


Christopher Mulrooney has written poems and translations in Los Angeles Journal, Chiron Review, Segue, Burning Leaf, The Drunken Boat and Voices Israel; criticism in Pyramid, The Film Journal and Parameter; and a volume of verse called "notebook and sheaves" (AmErica House, 2002).


if I pick up the phone the dead signal or
the live one

if the former
I disregard it
if the latter
I forestall it
