Division of Labor

My wife Chessie just called from her cell phone to tell me there is a telephone line drooping dangerously low above a side street in our neighorhood and asked would I call 311 to report it.

For those of you out of towners, that's the city of Akron help line. I called, and it turns out that without knowing the exact details, the operator was not sure what to do. Could be parks department if a tree's involved. Could be ATT. Time Warner. Ohio Edison.

So much depends
on a sagging power line
above the street
glazed with rain
from last night's
storm

So who's line is it anyway? She said she'd try and get someone out to look at it to determine, hopefully, who is reponsible.
