Time

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 forย a quarter โ€“

 

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?
