agent agent agent

have i dialed the right number?

i hope so.

i've gone through

all the prompts,

answering digitally

all of their questions.

i mute

the music, a horrible

wordless

jumble of noise

you could never dance,

or even tap

your fingers to.

i have all day to sit here

and wait for an agent

to answer the call,

or to transfer me again,

but so do they, at least

until five o'clock.
