late night shopping

i call my master card
 customer service number to cancel
an order
i made at three in the morning,
after one
too many white russians.
i was feeling really lonely at the time.
it's embarrassing.
so i whisper the item into the receiver
cupping the phone.
can you remove
that please from my account
i tell the young woman.
she's giggling
and has put me on speaker phone.
the whole call center
is laughing.
please, i tell her, just cancel
it. i can't have this arriving at my house.
sure, she says.
no problem.
is there anything else we can help 
you with?
no, that should do it.
