1:10:04
Again, no answer.
1:10:09
So I wrote...
1:10:11
"Dear sir...
1:10:14
"I've been thinking too much
of my own problems...
1:10:17
"too little of yours.
1:10:20
"Yours can't be a happy task,
reading another man's mail.
1:10:23
"It's dull, it's unimaginative...
1:10:26
"it's a job... and let's not mince words...
for a hack.
1:10:32
"Yet I wonder...
1:10:35
"can this be the way
you see yourself?
1:10:39
"Do you see yourself as a hack?
1:10:43
"Do you see yourself
as the office slob?
1:10:47
"Have you ever wondered why they
stuck you with this particular job...
1:10:50
instead of others
who have less seniority?"
1:10:57
That letter never
got delivered to me.
1:11:04
So then I wrote...
1:11:08
"Dear friend...
1:11:11
"Just a note to advise.
1:11:16
"You may retain my letters
as long as you deem fit.
1:11:21
"Study them, reread them,
think them out.
1:11:25
"Who back at the home office
is out to get you?
1:11:30
"Who, at this very moment...
1:11:34
"is sitting at your desk...
1:11:37
"reading your mail?
1:11:41
I don't say this to be cruel, but because
I'm the only one left you can trust."
1:11:49
No answer.
1:11:52
But the next day, a man saying he was
from the telephone company showed up...
1:11:57
no complaint had been made...
to check my telephone.
