Months now, answering calls
meant for a vote-in TV show
playing nationwide all hours of the day
they won't change their newly-minted number
we won't change our years-of-tradition number
one digit differentiates the two.
I don't ask for whom the phone rings
every time the hot line lights up
i worry about a real client
trying to get through
and hearing me not listening
but just saying
"sorry, wrong number."
