Right number wrong person

Right number, wrong person.
I call the person again
with the same results.
But this is the number they gave me!
How could this be wrong?

I look through my address books
and scour the internet,
praying they haven't disappeared,
because I really need that service.

"Where is Mark when you need him?"
I mutter, flipping
and clicking through pages
as I keep getting Tyler instead.

"Please just get me to Mark!"
I finally yell,
and at long last,
a Mark comes to the phone,
but it's the wrong Mark.
