are you on your computer now?

the industry of scamming
is so sophisticated
now.
they know everything about
you, everything
but one small clue
to get you to open up
the vault
of your belongings.
they call from warehouses
in other countries,
with broken English,
and impatient questions.
are you on your computer
now they ask?
in the old days,
someone would just bump
into you
and take your wallet
from your coat pocket
with a deft hand,
take the cash
and be on their way.
I miss the old days.
