they know everything there is to know about me

they seem

to know your age,

that your knees hurt,

that

you might be overweight,

and on the verge

of pre

diabetes.

they know about your prostate

and ED.

they know about what

vitamins you take,

and your dietary

needs.

they seem to know that

your house

is paid for

and that you are eligible

for a reverse

mortgage.

they seem to know that

you're thinking

about moving

to the beach,

to something one level.

they know

you have money to spend.

that you might

want a new

car, something red,

a convertible,

or a boat to sail away on,

or new dentures, or a hip

replacement

and a phone with big numbers.

they know.

if the phone rings all day,

it's because they know

all about you.

they know what you want,

what you need.
