Found Poem

Some people don’t answer their email

Some people don’t answer their voicemail

Some people don’t answer their snail mail

Sometimes don’t even open it because it gets lost

That some people is me yet

Everyone expects that everyone

Six times a day boots up

Their emails opens

Their snail mail checks

Their voicemail even though

The phone is lost under

The colander and a

cardboard pizza box

2025 Jacqueline Jackson
