A Pome a Day for a Year

There is that circle again.
Deep red, like a stop sign,
only it has a little number in it.

2. Always 2.
I have opened you up, little app, time and time and time
and I cannot for the life of me see
what you are trying to notify me on!
I have no unread emails!
Why are there 2?
Where are there 2?
How is there 2?

Clear cache, uninstall and re-download
and there appears that 2.
2!
2 x nothing should be nothing!

Why are you mocking me mobile device,
oh having a little giggle at Veeg’s bewilderment?
Playing a little prank on me?
Getting me to spend 2 hours to check over everything?

Computers are not supposed to lie,
they are supposed to process data truthfully
and without ulterior motives.
Human beings are the bias machines.
Yet, I am being mugged off by an iPhone.
