Cliff Hanger

Don’t leave me hanging
We have no time for a history lesson
Just give me the Cliff Notes
That’s all I want from you
I’ll make a decision
After we get done shopping

Why the stony silence?
Where do you go
When you get like that?
Who are you now?
What makes you leave?

Cliff face
Chiseled by glaciers
Cracked by epochs of time
Can’t make a phone call
Before the invention of telephony
Can you still change
After they turn on the dimes?

Don’t leave me hanging
Taking geology lessons
By Braille
Don’t leave me hanging
Cliff face of mine
