Untitled Document


They told me to sign here
but I refused

I refused to give them my blood
or my urine or my
social security number

Instead I stood in line
this imaginary line
drawn somewhere on the Internet
nobody could reach without possessing
proper credentials

When given a free pass
I knew there was no going back
and my virtual signature was certain
to never have existed

    It feels like everyone want’s more and more our information. It’s exhausting.

    • You got that right, Jasmine! Thanks for visiting and commenting, means so much to me. 😀

        Well your poetry is wonderful and I have not been the best reader. I have been pulled in a million directions and have neglected my WP family. Playing catchup and sending sincere apologies for my absence.

    I like this. Especially certain to have never existed. Well said.
