I Was Doin’ Alright

I was doin’ alright
until Siri betrayed me to ICE
I was doin’ alright
until Alexa turned me into DOGE
I was doin’ alright
until Grok notified the FBI
I was doin’ alright
until Chat GPT tipped off the Ultra-Right
I was doin’ alright
but I was doin’ it all wrong

 

John Roche lives in Placitas, NM, helping run Jules’ Poetry Playhouse and edit Poetry Playhouse Publications. Along with editing the five-volume Poets Speak series, his poetry books include On Conesus, Topicalities, Road Ghosts, The Joe Poems, Joe Rides Again: Further Adventures of Joe the Poet, and the latest, Tubbables.

Jack Marty takes photos when he feels like it. He thinks long bios get in the way of the work.
