notifications. no help


from customer service.

the number routes to

an old enemy

(the machine)

the thing won't let me talk;

it has no gender, mostly

asks for numbers.


I try not to hate but...

and of course, I try not to loathe.

asks for numbers.


or, when it wants a word

or phrase, but cannot understand me.


a phone is no friend of mine,

but I do miss the human across the line.
