Personally, I just got one of these Vonage IP phones. It's actually pretty cool. It comes with one of these Cisco ATA routers where you just plug an analog handset in.

Public Phone
A handset torn in two
Red colour it is
Hanging hapless, helpless
In a twist by its frame
The victim of a fragmented heart?
If only the handset will talk
A million secrets it will spew forth
A thousand Hearts shamed and spurned
A million ideas for novels and movies born
A telephone coin box cracked open
A hundred coins stolen
The victim of a desperate vandal?
The public phones, an authority's
Effort to get folks connected
Enduring all their whims and fancies
Their conditions telling tales
Of their mental health

Hey Cisco
Watch him ride into the sunset
Hed have the little fat guy
Right along his side
Echoing off the canyon, hey cisco
From pancho n pretty soon
The black sombrero would reply
Hey pancho whats happening mi amigo
Its getting somewhere near the end,
This winding trail
When weve raced around the corner
For the final dusty time
Mr renaldo n carillos
Going to jail
Cant open no more supermarkets
Duncans sombreros hanging
Up there with his guns
Some cigarro sucking slag
Under a chip hollywood chandelier
Says cisco, kid you know
Your day is done
Let me know how you are doin
Mr renaldo
If you need me I could be
A friend for life
There dont seem any point
...we should throw way
All these years
Why dont we saddle up
And ride out one more time
What they doing to my friend
What they doing to my man
Dont matter when
Ill stay to the end
Hey cisco
Lets go out in style
Were going down together

Cell Phone Mania
Cell phones to the right,
Cell phones to the left,
Cell phones, cell phones,
everywhere I look.
Red alert, stop! Listen,
shut up and drive,
shut up and read,
Cell phones, why so many.
Everyone talking,
cell phones in cars,
cell phones in bars,
eating places, cell phones.
There you can't escape
from them, you say
to yourself, the restroom,
no one would dare
use cell phone in there,
oh no, I hear someone,
talking to me, I answer them,
oh, sorry sir, did not know you
were on cell phone.
Oh, so many,
shut up, and walk.
Do away with cell phones,
and it would be like,
the crash of '29'.
People need cell phones,
sometimes their nice,
to have, but so many,
cell phones, might
as well join them
if you can't lick 'em,
join them.
Cell phone, cell phone
now how do I use this
thing, oh cell phone, cell phone,
Hello, Hello, oh that's
you mert.

Personally, I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm. I would just like to be more like Troy, because he's so cool.
Cisco Kid
Thats chapter 1,
Would you like to have chapter 2
You better you son of a bitch, I know the way.
Heres adventure, heres romance,
Heres the famous robbin hood of the old west.
Cisco, the sheriff, hes getting closer!
This way poncho, vominos. the cisco kid.
Way, way, way, we way back in the days the year, 1980.
Had to get a job, had to make some money-ney
Picked up a pen and a pad,
Dropped reality never thinking that I would live to see the day Id rock my own cd
We used to do the dance we called obie-obie
Now s.t.p. 1993, so hollywood get out my way
My moms words seems like yesterday
Love jesus, dont forget to pray
She most have gone with the boss d.j. right?
(dont be too sure of that fat one. fat one? )
And feelin though, skinny coming with the 9mm
cuz he who has the money has the authority,
And respect to the man with the uzi
(Im pritty handy with a six gun myself)
The 808 kick is on my hitlist
And this beats cooking like an ital dish
It wasnt hard for me to do, it so easy
Because to me loops loops tight go naturally
Moms words seem like yesterday.
Whats your name? cisco kid.
Si, ponchos name is, poncho.
Now in 94 we got an s.t.p.
A half pack of smokes, and oh yes, and sammy
A fifteen pack of old millwalkee
A dalmation and a girlfriend,
But I aint got no money-ne-ne-ne
The 808 is within my reach,
Sublime beats are comin straight from long beach.
If you think that hollywood
Didnt get what he deserved,
Call 808 kit to get served
(scarface)
How am I gonna get a scar like that eating pussy, man?
Theres always some hombre that cant resist swapin lead,
Just to see if their faster with the six gun than cisco is.
Theyll only find out cisco is fastet.
Well that dont stop em from tryin poncho,
Like slade here,
He fancys himself as fast on the draw as a quarter-horse
Takin after a stray.
Whats the matter? cant the cisco kid talk for himself?
Is that how you got your reputation cisco,
By havin your partner build you up?
I make no claim to a reputation senor,
And no one has to talk for me.
The cisco kid, heh,.
The kid part fits you from the way you act.
Ive meet with your kind before.
You a foolish hombre if you think he will not fight you.
Your making big talk for an hombre who will not fight.
You are wrong slade,
Ill fight you any place, any time.
If there is a good reason.
Well heres a fist full of reasons!
Now you two quit that.
Just as soon as I finish off this cisco kid.
You are the one that is finished you faggot.
Is that a good punch?
Alright you two, thats enough,
Let him alone cisco.
I wont forget this cisco,
Ill take this up with you another time.
Any time hombre,
Id be glad to accomidate you.
Ill make it soon cisco.
Shit up cash, keep your mouth shut.
Thats what I mean, cisco,
You attract trouble like a fiddler attracts a square dance,
You understand why I dont want
You staying in this town?
Do not worry sheriff

Analog or Digital
Digital is absolute, on or off, zero or infinity.
Analog is steadily changing, never absolute.
Cyberpunk is climbing towards reality with novelty.
Do we see it as an end point or another transition?
Is science fiction imagination or prediction?
Does it depend on the human motive or imagination?
What is the nature of reality?
All of creation is good, even upon death.
All is potential, nothing is dead.
Even upon death, these things persist.
We speak in absolutes. We think in absolutes.
Or we think in analog, hopefully.
Both are valuable and detrimental.

A Tennyson Fragment
So in the village inn the poet dwelt.
His honey-dew was gone; only the pouch,
His cousin's work, her empty labour, left.
But still he sniffed it, still a fragrance clung
And lingered all about the broidered flowers.
Then came his landlord, saying in broad Scotch,
`Smoke plug, mon,' whom he looked at doubtfully.
Then came the grocer saying, `Hae some twist
At tippence,' whom he answered with a qualm.
But when they left him to himself again,
Twist, like a fiend's breath from a distant room
Diffusing through the passage, crept; the smell
Deepening had power upon him, and he mixt
His fancies with the billow-lifted bay
Of Biscay, and the rollings of a ship.
And on that night he made a little song,
And called his song `The Song of Twist and Plug,'
And sang it; scarcely could he make or sing.
`Rank is black plug, though smoked in wind and rain;
And rank is twist, which gives no end of pain;
I know not which is ranker, no, not I.
`Plug, art thou rank? then milder twist must be;
Plug, thou art milder: rank is twist to me.
O twist, if plug be milder, let me buy.
`Rank twist, that seems to make me fade away,
Rank plug, that navvies smoke in loveless clay,
I know not which is ranker, no, not I.
`I fain would purchase flake, if that could be;
I needs must purchase plug, ah, woe is me!
Plug and a cutty, a cutty, let me buy.

No-One Calls
Nobody calls
Fall into pieces
Don't be afraid
Life isn't easy
Sunshine to rain
Counting the windows
But nobody calls
Nobody calls
Sunshine to rain
Smile for the camera
But nobody phones
Nobody phones
Anyone
At all
Not at all (x3)
Nobody phones
Anyone
At all (x4)
Not at all (x2 )

The right to private property meant at the same time the right and duty to be personally concerned about your own well-being, to be personally concerned about your family's income, to be personally concerned about your future. This is hard work.

The Cool Cat
The cool cat,
is just standing there.
The cool cat,
doesn't even glare.
The cool cat,
thinks he's so hot.
The cool cat,
doesn't give a snot.
The cool cat,
doesn't listen in class.
The cool cat,
thinks his better than the rest.
The cool cat,
really has no friends.
The cool cat,
smokes after school.
The cool cat,
left his family.
The cool cat,
is a player.
The cool cat,
has no prayers.
The cool cat,
has no savers.
The cool cat,
is one tough dude.
But really....
The cool cat,
is one big fool.

Who Cares
They stand and look at things
with their eyes closed tight.
They claim to see just what others don’t,
branding someone a liar and deceiver.
Sadly, they are the ones
who deceive themselves all the time.
Who worries if someone uses a different name
whenever they sit down to write?
I personally don’t.
Who cares if they make up an age they want to be.
I personally don’t.
Who cares if they exaggerates
about what they may or may not have done.
I personally don’t care.
Everyone no matter who they are
wants to be someone different at sometime or other,
and there is nothing wrong in that.
Just so long at the end of it,
they are happy in their own way.
I have no quarrel
with what anyone does
and I don’t think
anyone else should do neither.

Cool Touch
Writers: leo sayer & alan tarney
Hanging out with the nighttime clientele
Place your ladder for the social climb
Same old routine that you know so well
Another opening and another line
Its the cool touch
Yeah the cool touch
Call your lover on the mobile phone
Cmon over well have some fun
Leave a message sayin theres no one home
I guess the good times just begun
Its the cool touch
Yeah the cool touch
Cool touch--too much--its too muich
Too much--cool touch--or not enough
Cool touch--too much--too much
Too much--cool touch--its not enough
Take me take me to the sky above
Fool me fool me with your words of love
Cool touch--too much
Now shes reclined in the back of the sports car
Champagne and glasses he slips right in
No passing stranger couldve torn them two apart
Some games you play and you just cant help but win
The cool touch
Yeah the cool touch
Cool touch--too much--its too much
Too much--cool touch--its not enough
Take me take me to the sky above
Fool me fool me with these words of love
Cool touch--too much
A wind is blowing through this get rich town
She wraps the fur round her pretty waist
He feels a shiver as he grips the wheel
Feeling strangely out of place
Bring me bring someone I can trust
All this glitters just a bag of dust
Cool touch--too much--its too much
Too much--cool touch--its not enough
I had enough of this cool touch
Kids stuff
But I cant get enough

Amy My Lover
My father is as cool as 'L.L.Cool J' and,
My mother is hot as 'Tina Turner'!
But, i will love you like the sentimentals of 'Celine Dion'.
You are as sweet as 'Mariah Carey' and,
I will ride you to the stars like 'Boys and Men';
For, it will be like the first day at school,
With my mind on you like the muse of 'Alica Keys'.
Unplugged is my love so come and plug it for me,
And i've got lessons to learn from you like the songs of 'Bob Marley';
Oh, Amy my lover!
I will always love you with the colours of true love and like the snow falls.

Regardless what technology is, I like analog too.
Phones Are Ringin All Over Town
(marc beeson/kin vassey/david mackechnie)
With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed
With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep
But it doesnt really matter cause theres nothing to be said
He calls from work to tell her hes sorry about last night
If he uses all the right words shell forgive him once again
But the phone just keeps on ringin and knows somethings wrong
He feels his heart start pounding, and his head begins to spin
Chorus:
Phones are ringin all over town
North and south and east and west on main street up and down
Hes got friends of his callin friends of hers
But shes nowhere to be found
Phones are ringin all over town
He calls the hospital, her sisters house and the place that does her hair
God, if somethin ever happened hed surely lose his mind
And hes thinkin its just like shes disappeared into thin air
As american flight #204 departs right on time
Repeat chorus
Well he knows shed never leave him
Shes just got to be around
Phones are ringin
Phones are ringin
Phones are ringin all over town
