I wrote these words while a waited for many minutes on hold. I'm sure you have been there.
“Your call is import to us Please hold. A representative Will be with you shortly.” I’m so important That I’m given a Recorded monotone voice. And they change the music Which would put me to sleep If they didn’t keep Giving me the recorded message. I hope I don’t Have to go to the bathroom. Please don’t play music With running water! They can’t be with me Shortly Because it’s been many minutes. Perhaps “shortly” Is the stature Of the representative. I’m holding And it’s their fault That I made this call. I wish I had the nerve When the representative Comes on line To say: “your answer to my call Is very important to me Please hold I will be with you Shortly!”

Happened a few times, a recorded voice telling me to hold, the muzak, the ten minutes limit and automatic disconnection (the phone company takes more for connecting than for waiting connected)
If I am so important to them...why they don't pay my phone bill?
Just asking.

October Illness

I sat outside a store and became aware of the flower pots in front the store and I thought how it must feel about the attention given to the flowers.
