The World’s Largest Phone Booth

Originally uploaded by jicarney.

I had no way to upload my photos from camp, but this was the inspiration for my little poem earlier. It used to house a pay phone; now there’s a regular phone (I suppose for people to use with calling cards or collect calls). I got to Cumberland Pines early and some of the people I had hoped might be on the mountain weren’t, so I had a lot of time to kill this afternoon. It was a pleasant place to kill time, of course. I was sitting in the little shelter which houses the canteen, looking over at the “phone booth,” when I wrote the poem on a lark. (You can tell I’m not really a poet.)
