internal memo:
i will adjust the algorithms
employ Brazilian spam-bots
and engage a generation of
black hat hackers to change
your demographics are nearly
perfect we just have to overlay
tinting onto your memories
of last summer mostly
because we partnered with
Pepsi on our branding and i
know we mostly drank
RC and that’s a lot of Photoshop
i have asked engineering
to send a few nanobots to
your family vacation house
in the Adirondacks just for
your Thanksgiving plans
include goose your mother
shot during season, and
in the afternoon while roasted
fat and thyme tickle your
nostrils the tiny bots will
creep inside a drowsing
napping, resting ear canal
and tidy up your thoughts
about RC cola, and why
we argued and why you
would never put the paper
down and look at me, or
don’t we deserve families
too, or why didn’t, after 8
years, you ever ask me?
I might have said yes,
but, oh, irony, oh i just
realized that’s why, oh
well, in any case the
bots are on the way
