auto me nothing, please

at times, auto-correct or suggestion

of what i wanted to say next

on my computer helps

but mostly it interrupts and distracts

and causes me to backtrack and fix

and, like a backseat driver,

i’d like to leave it off at the next

intersection of its thoughts v mine

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
