i just want ten minutes of your time

it was easy
dodging the door to door
salesmen
back in the day.
before
robo called took over,
calling you
a hundred
times a day.
when you saw the man
at the door
with his satchel
of cleaning products,
a new fangled
vacuum,
or encyclopedias,
or insurance plans,
you dropped
to the floor
and turned the lights off.
you held your breath,
until he gave up knocking
and went sadly away.
