thank god for junk mail
otherwise all we'd get
is mail from people we know
telling us things that matter
or the latest news on their lives
when all we really want
is fake news about Gillette razors
or an offer of £1 million
from a Nigerian prince
if only we'd share our bank details
God invented junk mail
so that when AI
takes all of our jobs
including the writing of poems
about junk mail
and AI taking all of our jobs
there will still be something meaningless to do
anything will do
so long as we don't have to
sit still and just be,
dwelling on who we are
and for what reason
now that we are no longer
in the workplace culture
that has defined our existence
for the past two hundred years
