Somewhere between the junk mail and the spam,

the old coffee ring and jingling doorbell,

between the clicks and cookies is where I am

and the form's a boiled bullfrog in a spell;

in the crumbs of breakfast rolls and plum jam,

the nervous laughter summed in a nutshell,

huge search portals and old blinking programmes,

algorithms that don't travel very well.

A time slot please, for the biometrics,

the photo must be 2'' X 2",

take off the specs, not sure about the lipstick,

a clean background, spotless white is preferred.

Don't look for greys, don't say even a word,

look at the lens, there's no need to flinch.
