I pick the call
allow him to talk
intercepting with
‘yes, yes, yes”.
His intonation
grows sharp
‘are you listening?”
he asks.
“Yes. yes. yes”.
I reply. Unconvinced
he asks me quickly
“what did I say”?
” You were talking about
the keys” “.You are right.”
He elaborates his search
with reference to context.
He rambles for ten minutes.
Concludes in a low key
he cannot find them.
I key in ” It is what I expected “.
