Nocturnes: Call Center Psycho, Part 2
[please see the disclaimer at the bottom of Part 1,
incorporated herein by reference]
Our man often wondered why callers-in
would speak to him and his associates
as one would speak to some stray dog one caught
leg-lifting to spray the garden with piss;
or else, reverting to infantile talk
or open threats . . . especially when he
and his associates had all access
to every caller's name and full address,
phone number and social security
number; also purchase histories.
Again, and yet again, and more again,
the callers took disatisfactions out
on our man and his associates.
Then the small need for retaliation
mutated in ghastly transformation,
becaming a furious monstrosity
that only found peace and satiety
in wreaking hard, irreperable harm,
as some former complainant "bought the farm."
