My mail app

Is a deranged dog

I send it out to fetch

It brings back

Political crises

With exhortations to give

Solicitations to purchase

Sinks and cars and makeup and pills and services and

Offers me discounts on overpriced items if I will buy now

It brings me news of the non-news my friends post on Facebook

Begs me to tweet the non-news I am living

Updates me on people I knew a decade or few ago

Tells me of urgent this and urgent that

Wants me to laugh at jokes constructed of pieces of minorities and women

Insists that I see the latest stupid human trick

Or human pet trick, wanting me to see beauty

But only showing me noise

My mail app is a deranged dog

Who will not bring me

That which I want

Nor that which I need

Nor that which I send it to fetch
