Ordering Online

To prove we haven’t given up, We order things online Since objects meant for future use Imply that we are fine. A sweet dessert, a case of beer Or scotch or gin or wine Can elevate our kitchen meals To ones at which we dine. Some nitrile gloves, a spiffy mask Of chic and cool design Remind us that to safety While in style we can incline. A buzzing insect’s gotten in? To Amazon, assign The sending of a swatter So that fly will toe the line. For every penny that we spend Is proof that we still pine For a future that our purchases May somehow thus define.
