SIRI

by Andrew Hilbert


What is Siri's opinion
of occupy wall street
or Herman Cain's
9-9-9 plan
or its opinion of the champagne-
drinking-let-them-eat-the-crumbs-
of-my-lobster-cake-investment-
banker-crowd-
after all, shouldn't New York's
Senators recognize these fools
as the ones they serve? their true
constituents?
These are important questions
but every news reporter
on every channel
is asking Siri the important
questions like,
"where is the nearest Apple store?"


Andrew Hilbert lives and works in San Antonio, TX.
