The second line is a very nice image. I like the idea of sttic (which is audio) opening up (which is visiual). It is slightly incongruous, but I like it. A suggestion: don't break lines in the middle of preposiitonal phrases. It is jarring, and I don't think you want it to be. Don't end lines with "of" or "from". I really like the image of the empty pockets and reasons for them. To make it stronger and fit better into the meter of the poem, I would recommend removing the parenthesis and moving "and phone booths" to a line by itself. As it is, the line is longer than the others in the poem. The parenthesis also make the phone booths an afterthought and make it seem less important than the wishing wells. You want to close with something strong, not an afterthought. Moving it to its own lone would strengthen it.
