about

Penned by P. Swikoski. This story tells the tale of an average telephone pole. Riddled with fliers and rusty staples. Bringing the people an important line of communication. Their role as a local loop provider has been drastically changed over the recent years... but they still stand tall as symbols of the achievement of man... only a core of what was once a vibrant growing tree.

lyrics

Telephone Game:

You cut it down just to put me up
You string me 'round just to light it up
You puncture it, with your wants and needs
I was once lively as the blowing TREES

Rusty wounds show my age
Public wants to fill my page
Sometimes knocked down by drunken rage
Side of the street is my Stage!

All the time just come and go
Gathering knowledge you must know
Connected down to the earth below
but not for life, I'll never Grow!

Fliers and liars written with diction
Then add an animals depiction
So sad this book is non-Fiction
Don't climb on me there's too much Friction!

You cut it down just to put me up
You string me 'round just to light it up
You puncture it, with your wants and needs
I was once lively as the blowing TREES!

Pierced with all your desires
No one ever stops with the pliers
Rip shards or shrapnel from my surface
I'm beginning to realize my purpose
Arms outstretched to hold your things
but to me they're only strings
Bring life to the night
I'll enable all your site....

You cut it down just to put me up
You string me 'round just to light it up
You puncture it, with your wants and needs
I was once lively as the blowing

WEATHERED SPLINTERED and SUN FADED
Exterior has shown me DATED
Striped down possibly naked
Long life? NO WAY WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT!

Now I stand here all suspect
Chains around me to protect
Nothing left to Object
All the cement here has set
