Dial tone.
Cell phone or land land telephonic
Ring a ding / fax machine singing
Digital data lines
Most during this time of the day
Lagging behind just enough hours
To have them at dinner
Tucking in the kids
Most during this time of mine
Pacific western sunsets
Around six ish
"It's not a good time"
Most declare, if they dared pick up
But 8 out of over a hundred calls
Succeed
The rest are answering machines
Hanging up
My computer's got your number
Disconnected no longer in use
Learn by repetition
"Can you spare any time?
To answer some questions"
Customer satisfactions
Answering machines never had
The answers for this survey
In front of me
I recite verbatim
To fill the quota
Just need one every thirty
Or oneself to
"Feel"
Opinions opinionate
"Leave something brief after the beep..."
Hello can you hear me?
Are you complete?
