Malahat Review Listserv Found Poem #4

 

"PLEASE FIX YOUR EMAIL" - Rose Morris

This morning I woke to an inbox brimming.
Thought it was love.
Get your shit together, they accidentally
sent one email that went to everyone.

I have no idea how or why this message came to me. I know mistakes happen.

I’m also receiving this email, but I don’t think I’m supposed to.
Gawd knows my secret membership in this rather pornographic group is a terrible fate.

My inbox is suddenly flooded with emails from people I don’t know and I am a full time writer.
I do not have time for this. I know mistakes happen.

I definitely have time for this.
Nice to meet you all.
I know mistakes happen.

Please delete me.

Please remove from list.

Please remove me from the list.

Please remove me from this list as well, thanks!!

^^this is just a test to see if my “reply all” gets thru. I know mistakes happen.

I am upset.

I agree with George Bowering.

I too write full time.

If you what me on your list, you can re earn my support,
if you’re worth it. I know mistakes happen.

Where the hell is the secret and one and only Northwest Mounted Police when you need them.

With no kindness,
gerry sharing the pain

Amigos, no entiendo nada de este bellísimo discurso. Que les vaya bien. Abrazos a todos.
Friends, I understand nothing of this beautiful speech. Good luck. Hugs to all.

This is my favourite but they are very good! so much chaotic talent! The concerns about privacy - while inadvertently sharing phone numbers and email addresses! Sorrows. Prayers. Sorrows.
