Valentine’s Gender

What is your gender
Asked some woman on voicemail
Not trying to sell me anything
 
But with a sharp Gestapo tone
Filling out the application forms
For my eventual arrest
 
We will keep leaving messages like this
We already know you will delete
Until you inevitably call us back
 
With your admissions and complaints
Your rage and sniveling
Quelled into submission
 
Until you identify yourself
Your age and gender and time of death
So we know you’re not lying
