(Five Haikus)
My phone is quite dumb.
Of course I have a smart phone,
But a dumb smart phone.
It does not play tunes,
Quack, ring, or make any sound.
Sometimes it vibrates
Discreet, noiseless.
Often I feel it humping
My thigh, silently.
Like a dog jacking
Off against your shin, futile
And lacking in taste.
I do not love my
Smart phone; not because it’s dumb
But because it’s vile.
