the senior app

i make
a billion on my new invention.

the senior citizen app.
it finds
your glasses
when they're lost,
or on your head.

tells you what route to take
when walking.
where the steps are.
the steep inclines,

places where you might slip.
it informs you

of sales.
where bread is half price.

eggs.
and prune juice.
freshly squeezed.

it beeps when the milk
goes bad.

it counts your pills,
reads
before you go to sleep.

it tells you what day
it is,

what time.
it turns on the lights
when you get up to pee

for the third time
that night.

it rings with a new message
nearly every other day,

telling you which old friend
has died.
