The wheeler-dealer on the bus has a wireless headset
"I am in the back of the bus by the fan, so it is noisy,"
He shouts into it. The cockney gym rat stares him down.
The wheeler-dealer is not phased and continues to wheel,
"I'll call you back, but I just wanted to touch base and
Make sure we are on for Friday. I mean it is time to
Move."
Two more stops and three more calls and he bounds
Off the bus to his dollar store destination. Everyone
Knows but he, that he is talking to no one and nothing
Is on.
nothing is on? damn. that's cold. (I could see it, totally see it.)
