The familiar light blue and slate gray
of Bell Atlantic sits on every anonymous
corner, in every out-of-the-way space.
The regular dented black box,
tucked into a corner holds the usual
metallic gray keypad. A black handle
connected to the box
by the same cold gray, flexible cord. The
vertical slot at the top,
still waiting for a quarter –
How much does it cost now?
Beneath the black box,
a loud yellow box with a
horizontal slot and a picture
of how to insert a credit card.
A credit card?
There is no door.
How does Superman change into his cape?
