An international call, an antelope and a rabbit.
The line was good for a minute or two and then it would cut out a few vital words.
Did she say she had succeeded or everyone had accepted the opposite?
Oh well, the antelope seemed to watch us as if possessing some deep knowledge it would take us another thirty years to learn.
A rabbit was all it took to spook the larger animal which ran off with its usual elegance.
The show does not offer us control, it is or has been written and plays out in front of our eyes.
What we say, the words we use, even on a choppy phone line, are more certainly our creation.
