The agent for one of the groups
singing a song called last night from Oakland, California
to yell at me because I wrote her an email yesterday
their introductory video was due last week i’ve always
liked the term Radio Silence - Radio Silence from her
about where it was: HOW DARE YOU WRITE ME AN EMAIL
IN ALL CAPS SHE SHOUTED SOMETIMES I LIKE
CAPITAL LETTERS I SAID AND BESIDES YOU’RE THE ONE
WHO HASN’T PROVIDED THE VIDEO YOU PROMISED
BY MARCH 12 FOR SURE.
I texted the manager twice she said
The manager didn’t reply. How do you know she
wasn’t hit by a bus. How do you know she doesn’t have COVID?
Can you text someone else I asked. Maybe she said.
She emailed today. We’ll have the video this afternoon.
My grandfathers worked for the same furrier. One was a needlehand, the other a foreman (and a scab). They never spoke after the strike.
