we need to update your receiver boxes

it's an early

morning scam call.

i'm on my first

cup of coffee,

walking about the house

dusting

my plants.

all plastic but they look

real

in the early blush

of sunlight.

the man 

is bright and bushy tailed.

excited

with not having

someone hang up

on him

when they hear his Indian

accent.

he wants

to update my 

television receiver boxes,

all nine of them.

my record

of keeping them on the phone

is 53 minutes

and spare change.

game on.
