Teléfonos y estrellas

I dialed her number. She picked up. Hello?, she said. I said nothing. Hello? Nothing. And I hung up. A minute later my phone rang. It was her. Did you just call? No… why? Well, somebody just called and hung up, so I dialed star 69 and you picked up.

Star 69. So that what R.E.M.’s song “Star 69” was about. I was very familiar with the lyrics. I know you called, I know you called, I know you hung up my line, star 69, sang Michael Stipe. But I had always thought Star 69 was something like fucking Asteroid B-612.
