I
hear bells ringing, calling,
announcing
the hour to come
together,
to congregate, even
though
digital clocks and
mobile
phones set their own hour,
their
own time so well that
the
bells no longer need
to
be rung, but they are rung
anyway,
calling those
who
can hear them.
Digital
clocks can be buttoned
for
snoozing; mobile phones
can
be turned off, left to charge
overnight
and not turned on.
Bells
cannot be denied.
