.................................
It's true! It's true!
.................................
It's true, it's true
people are going to start
becoming more promiscuous
over the telephone.
There'll be phone jons
who instead of
driving by and honking
ll'just buzz in and
have a listen.
After a while
special hardware will make
it easy and safe.
Women will be violated on the phone.
The smart ones will get into it.
Telephone manners will become unconscionable.
Eventually,
money will cease to trade
accounts. People will pay
each other off in lonely
orgasms.
Headset on, next to the toilet
running water and connection
compete for your attention,
"Say my name
Say my name."
