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 suck you back
with 2 for 1 deals, 10% off,
free for a month, look we’ve added
some shit, 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 sexual prowess of
a puma!
probably best to disconnect now
turn off the router, unplug the modem
get your porn the old fashioned way
before they tie your nervous system
to the silicon pathways
and advertise to your dreams
