Ending It with Alexa

Janet Kuypers
Instagram and twitter poem, 1 /26/19

When I first met her, I fell in love
she was the answer to my prayers

or so I thought

every time I’d ask her a question
her answer was only “I don’t know”

and I thought

I thought there was more to her
than this, but all she now offers me

are blank stares to every question
I ask, empty responses to everything

so I looked into her, and found out
that at every waking moment

she was keeping tabs on every
single thing I ever did or said

and I thought

wait a minute, why on earth is she
so monitoring me? I never agreed

to this, and I really can’t stand
this covert spying of hers

so that is when I had to end it —
I understand being connected

to someone, but this is too much.
I needed to have my privacy again
