no fruit from my labor

frustration with my computer

when changing my address

on the purchase form triggered

fraud alert at the credit card company

all that time filling out the form

only to have payment declined

arghhhh

but the lady at the fruit company

was finally able to navigate the gift

with a different credit card

“your call is important to us, please stay on the line”

call important to us

 automated systems

convey upon my person

status as a customer

with perks for going

deeper into debt

toward their profit

when i feel like an individual

i merely try to ask a question

beyond their algorithm

after hours on hold

even i get the message

of cog-hood value only
