we'll be right with you

i call,
i write, i leave a message.
but there's
no one in the office.
no human
being
on the phone. press one,
press two,
press three.
we'll get back to you,
or hold on,
you're forty-five minutes
away from
talking to an assistant
in Delhi,
or Bombay.
if it's an emergency
call 911,
if not, 
make a tourniquet
to stop
the bleeding.
