Spam In My Inbox

Fancy spam emails
I don’t mind nor the ones
cobbled in broken English 

from someone who says
he’s with a bank overseas
and is holding money for me

if I will send a small token
to show my good faith.
No, the spam emails 

that bother me
are the ones that use
the names of people 

I know well, like my daughter.
Those emails I’d like to answer.
We were close before she died.
