Why do I bother By Dmitriy Kogan


Why do I bother plugging the phone in?

if I’m waiting for good news, it won’t come

they never happen to me

so I might as well not bother plugging the phone in




Dmitriy Kogan is a short story writer and poet from NYC. His work has appeared in Stone of Madness Press.
