Music plays as I
hold
momentarily while waiting for a representative
It loops over and over
plucking out a never-ending refrain
as a robot whore tells me
"Momentarily..."
Ten minutes pass.
The drink in my hand drains
refills
"Momentarily..."
I get fed up with the computerized monstrosity.
"I get it, no one's available,"
I growl into the mic.
No response,
except,
"Momentarily..."
"Fuck this," I think aloud,
but before I can
hang up
I realize it's imperative I speak to them.
So I hang here in muzak-limbo,
momentarily...
