Pancho’ s Email
Marie Vibbert
Her inbox swells with him, with capitalization,
and accidentally prescient punctuation,
addictive like his fingers
soaked in nicotine and
passionate boldface, wedged between sliced spam
indifference begins,
aren’t intelligences artificial enough?
or filing the memory when every bit
shivered for Pancho, for real!
Electronic verification now
doting on your unreality habit,
and the filter, a dream catcher, knows how
but decides to let him through.
