Hey, Siri

Sam Canney | Poetry

Remind me when I get home 

to send a picture of the calluses under my feet to Mom. Shit, I mean Papa.

Okay, your reminder is set.  

“Send a picture of a masochist under my free mom shit meaning Papa.” 

Hey Siri, 

Where do you come from? 

Widespread use of French in England after 12c. gave English “you” the same association  as French “vous.” Through 13c. English also retained a dual pronoun ink "you two; your  two selves; each other." * 

Hey Siri,  

Tell me a joke. 

You have 36 missed calls. Would you like to call them back? 

Hey Siri,  

How do I extricate my desire from the person who’s doesn’t want me? 

Here’s what I found on the web: 

“Unrequited Love: How to deal with it” 

“How can we uplevel our life by reframing desire?” 

“How to know what you really want” 

Hey Siri,  

How much longer until climate change changes life as we know it? 

Climate Change was first theorized in 1896, by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius. 

 

Hey Siri,  

Tell my brother that I miss him.  

Okay, I’ve sent your message to Mother.  

“I miss him” 

Hey Siri,  

Do you love me? 

Okay, I’ve sent your message to Mother. 

“Do you love me?”  

Hey Siri, 

Nevermind.
