A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

a Prime Deal


this is to confirm your order
1 heart
amazon prime delivery
one day maybe

the fastest love you ever experienced
we might leave it at your door
if you are not home
If you are not satisfied with the product
we will pay the postage for you to send it back

we are so sure you will love her
that if you order within the next 15 minutes
we will send you 2 hearts
for the price of one

in case the first one breaks you
or is defective

If you find true love with this product
and are happy together
please write a positive review
on amazon

that way others will be inclined
to order love online

and our business will thrive
nothing personal.

This sounds like mail order brides Amazon style. It is comical. Order two Incase one breaks you. Ha hilarious because it’s most likely going to happen.

So many creative lines and thoughts in this poem. Well done

In capitalism, all is for sale. I think about this a lot. Everything is for sale all of the time. All relations have been replaced by cash (actually credit now). this is destroying human relations and the environment. not sure if this is where you were going with this..

Woah, this concept is wholly amazing. The way it's written, so quippy makes it even better and seems as if it was extremely fun to write. The metaphors are amazing and it's deep in such a way you don't often see. It's clever and fun, yet really sad when you think about it.

'if you are not home, If you are not satisfied with the product, we will pay the postage for you to send it back'

This was the particular line that really got me. True love is so hard to find that when we find it, we keep it tight within our grasp whether it's the right thing to do or not. I just think this was so genius and I could see this piece really blowing up into something big. I absolutely loved this piece and it's going well into my favorites!

A two for one prime deal
sounds good ..but
as with love there's
no guarantees that
it will last ..oh what
the heck 2 hearts for
the price of one ;
"wrap it up I'll take it"
looks like you had fun
writing this one..

Has love sadly become this emotion for sale in telemarketing? I wonder. Great write J and now put on your helmet and enjoy your love product, all fantasies included, handcuffs extra. :)

This is very clever, and very fun to read and immagine. Think of how great it could be to just order a heart online for if one breaks. Something that happens more than it dont! Very nice read!
