it's clear-it's a phone. and I don't think that Williams being an imagist put much meaning into it he just wanted to depict it. i think everyone experienced a phone booth ringing in the street and you know it's not for you(and that it's probably just teenagers ringing it for fun) but you go and pick it up anyway.

i reckon the thing should be an alarm clock which i set up for myself.But neither i nor any other will be happy to accept it when we have to get up from the cosy bed !
