Haiku for the Misunderstood

I was at party recently where the birthday boy received this hilarious book of 'Hipster Haiku' by this dude Siobhan Adcock who is apparently a GENIUS. I shied away from the book at first because I'm wary of terms like 'hipster' as a selling point for something, but, well, I flipped through a couple pages, and it sold itself immediately.

This is an example:

sends a clear message
which is: "I'm new here."

The haiku I would like to dedicate to my kindred spirits out there is the following:

My sardonic wit
doesn't translate in email
that's why I'm alone.
