wishlist

i’m like windows 8,
boxes of essentials,
bundled upon purchase,
safe, dependable,
available one click away,
predictable, boring.

what i’d give
to be the app you purchased
the one you chose to download
and hid under a different name.
the secret on your smartphone
the ‘it’s nothing’ when people ask
‘what beeped?’
the DM you ought to erase but can’t,
the conversation that makes you smile
the picture in an album innocuously marked ‘food’
the burning need instead of a habit...


but the wish app costs $9.99
and my credit doesn’t go that far.
