Help Wanted
by Joanna M. Weston

it opens a white mouth
masticates my file
swallows the chewed relics
down into a wired cauldron
of bytes   chips   urls
swirling in a gastric fugue

I fish with inexpert fingers
for a folder   hoping the monster
will regurgitate poetry
 instead lines   an arrow
a nothing instruction
which leads to the phone
and a request for friendly
help
