Amazon thinks it’s time, based
on what I’ve looked at in the past
to recommend this bucket (taste
doesn’t come into this) although
I’ve never looked for buckets,
online or elsewhere. Like the time
it urged a pair of squash rackets
and a self-closing hinge for a gate
I haven’t got. If someone else
is living my life I hope they enjoy
the socket set I didn’t buy
as much as the pressure gauge for tyres
on my non-existent car, the one
the algorithm is sure requires a baby seat.
