Prime Days
I’ve been trying to place an order online all day. Bubble wrap. Human size. No shipping to Mexico. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for a number. Give me the phone. What is the code? 001. Let me out. Let me call. Ring. Ring. Ring. On the line. Robot loop speak. Numbers. My ears are ringing. Press 1. Press 2. Press 3. No number for bubble wrap. SOS. Jam zero. Over. And over again. Get me to a voice. I need bubble wrap now. Estimated wait time. 11 minutes. 10 fingers. I count down. Almost. Almost. Ring. Ring. Connect. "Hello, how may I help you?” “Ma’am, it’s an emergency.” “I’m leaking out. This world.” Voice pause. “I need 23 rolls of extra large bubble wrap shipped to Mexico right now.” “For what Ma’am?” may I ask. Press lips to receiver. Open mouth. “2 arms, 2 legs, torso, head, cracked heart.”
