iHermes


Hermes, could you send this for me?

I need to tell her to get milk and maybe

something for dinner tonight, minestrone?

And Hermes, while you're here, tell

my friends where I am. Take this selfie

to your great white billboard and nail it 

up in the sky for them to see.

Hermes, could you send this for me?

I need to tell her I'm OMW.

No, Hermes, not On My Way,

use the acronym. 

Hermes, how many steps have I walked today?

What's my resting heartrate? 

Has anyone seen that picture yet? Did they like it?

Hermes, how much money is in my bank account?

Hermes, I want to buy a bean bag chair.

45$? Is there anything cheaper?

20$ is much better. I'll take it.

Thank you, Hermes.
