barley
raze
the
phone
rang.
i
thought
maybe
it
was
someone
i
knew
.
i
picked
up
without
looking
at
the
caller_id
.
i
never
do
that
.
it
was
a
telemarketer.
"
good
morning
,"
he
said
.
his
indian
accent
and
my
half
-asleep
brain
turned
the
morning
into
barley.
i
hung
up
.
no
one
in
their
right
mind
wants
to
talk
about
domesticated
grains
that
early
in
the
day
.
