Leave A Message After The Beep
The plain voice on the other end poisoned the telephone receiver. You already spoke it all in. It's in you now. Melt and travel through the wires. Live inside the box. Don't you know this isn't how communication works anymore? Good. You won't be detected. Landlines are few and far between now. Not many have the sound of rotary phone dial clicks rolling it's sounds in the back of dreams, or fax machine rings. DING! You got mail now instantly. It's getting faster and more ingrained in your mind like a computer virus wired into your brain circuitry. No need to wait to hear my voice on an answering machine tape at the end of the day. I always spoke beyond the beep.
