Ordering Online

To prove we haven’t given up,
We order things online
Since objects meant for future use
Imply that we are fine.

A sweet dessert, a case of beer
Or scotch or gin or wine
Can elevated our kitchen meals
To ones at which we dine.

Some nitrile gloves, a spiffy mask
Of chic and cool design
Remind us that to safety
While in style we can incline.

A buzzing insect’s gotten in?
To Amazon, assign
The sending of a swatter
So that fly will toe the line.

For every penny that we spend
Is proof that we still pine
For a future that our purchases
May somehow thus define.
