Writing Attempt: Found Poetry

 

Despite his misgivings

Reed gave the scanners a try

And our disconnect

(Police assured)

Was legal to gather

And to share

60,000 To lines for life

If we don’t use it, they know

It felt invasive

(Nor did they care)

Millennials don’t care

We’ve just been brought up to expect

Everyone has access to that information

Wry anecdotes

Vasectomy that left me

Chasing the ticks of my biological clock all the way home

(On the rebound in search of sperm)

You are the afternoon date girl

Ryan didn’t seem bothered by his lackluster performance

Or my superior score

I pinched myself under the hand drying unit
