when he wrote he didnt pay attention to his landline phone
                                                               he was wrioting

IF it was someone he may want to talk with he had conditioned them to wait for the recorded message to conclude it was his daughters voice  she objected to his recording Its yer dime  speak  and at its conclusion theyd begin talking to him  Dad. Papa. Joe. It’s your father. It’s your mother. the conditioning he insisted on prevailed it allowed him time to finish a thought he was working or a quick ! to recall where he was then he could stand cross the room to the telephone  YO! Yagot me

“Gud  Bye.”

four successive calls this morning that laboured his recorded message nothing  dead air  then “Gud  Bye.”  a recorded voice sounded German  an accent 

a machine talking to a machine

they could spend all day together for what it was worth

who was he to interrupt their affairs intercede upon their fulfilling transactions

now some people might be goaded to curiosity and pickup  then likely start all sorts of machinationstrigger a human being to jump in 
                  the plot thickens

and other people couldnt understand why he wouldnt pickup wasnt it possible he was missing out on an opportunity You say you’re curious.

Yes he replied But perhaps it hasnt occurred to you that as I wriote I am pursuing my curiosity  Why would I let me be interrupted by a machine  Its rare today that a human telemarketer would wait through a message in order to leave theirs  

Smart machines yaknow cheaper than human labour

I aint playing the game

the interface muttered Gud  Bye

three more callsthe same rang at his back before he went out that afternoon for provisions

he liked that he was wasting their money which was consistent to solicitations that came through the post credit cards that he opened at the box took out the included-envelope

NO POSTAGE
NECESSARY
IF MAILED
IN THE
UNITED STATES

                                                                     licked the flap sealing it then left it for the mailman to collect the next day extracting his ounce of flesh from the corporate body hed contact if he was interested in their product 24% interest didnt interest him not when overnight borrowing from the Fed was at 2.25% to 2.50% 

some might call that American Capitalism

others might call that American Greed

he called it rape

the fourfive envelopes he mailed back weekly amused him
