feels liberating
these little first world problems
resolved by unsubscribing
from an annoying mailing list
or deleting an aged account
that is useless, created on a whim
filling in-boxes with spam and junk
killing social media links,
paring back digital presences
all with the idea
of spending less time farting about
more time creating, living, reading
but they **** you back
with 2 for 1 deals, 10% off,
free for a month, look we’ve added
some ****, and yeah, it costs more, but
our life will be better with it
so the rest of the night
is filled with creating spam filters
more unsubscribing, more account deletions
until someone recommends you sign up for
the new revolutionary internet saviour
the be all and end all of all your woes
it will make you stronger, faster, more
organised, less likely to drink yourself
to sleep each night, give you the power
of 10 rhinos, and the ****** prowess of
a puma!

probably best to disconnect now
turn off the router, unplug the modem
get your **** the old fashioned way
before they tie your nervous system
to the silicon pathways
and advertise to your dreams
In the defined hours of
Morning or night
I face it rough
All cars in a line
Small and big
All lights up and bright.
Inside one of these settled
Roads too full to even
Offer space to peddlers.
At the time when even
The jungle rule is inapplicable
No wishes of flying
A wonder that consumes such
Time to compose a song
All cars following each other
Forming a train in portions.

Increasing body aches and sleep
Minutes seen in hours
A time later when a massage
Is unavoidable
To clear stress uncalled for
All cars parked
Like its a car party
Something unpaid for
By that time
You wish you could
Withdraw your traffic membership
By unsubscribing
You later reach but wait
For a tomorrow's
Similar function
A daily routine of life

— The End —
