_____________________________________________________________________
A woman called Trudy
_____________________________________________________________________
Infinite old widows
_____________________________________________________________________
A sewerage pumping station
_____________________________________________________________________
A sex line, a prison
_____________________________________________________________________
“You’ve called a boat”
_____________________________________________________________________
“Is there a family in it?”
_____________________________________________________________________
“It’s a cargo ship, mate”
_____________________________________________________________________
“Could you tell me your income?”
_____________________________________________________________________
A room full of students
_____________________________________________________________________
Repeat themselves in headsets
_____________________________________________________________________
Eating two minutes noodles
_____________________________________________________________________
Rolling cigarettes
_____________________________________________________________________
We have protracted conversations
_____________________________________________________________________
With our four-digit neighbours
_____________________________________________________________________
I finish the call… Now what were you saying?
_____________________________________________________________________
Just ask a team leader
_____________________________________________________________________
They eavesdrop for training
_____________________________________________________________________
Tricked by an another answering machine
_____________________________________________________________________
Halfway through my introduction the bloody thing beeps
_____________________________________________________________________
It’s private, confidential
_____________________________________________________________________
Of course the research is essential
_____________________________________________________________________
We’re looking for fathers, smokers, social drinkers
_____________________________________________________________________
Anglers, gamblers and accident victims
_____________________________________________________________________
Stare at the time on the screen
_____________________________________________________________________
Last hour takes a year
_____________________________________________________________________
My mind
_____________________________________________________________________
Tired and thoughtless
_____________________________________________________________________
This call may be monitored for quality porpoises
