Today I asked Siri,
"What is the meaning of life?"
Her answer was simple,
It was humble,
It showed that life is about the little things we think nothing of.
She replied one little word, "Chocolate."
And that made me smile.
Today I asked Siri,
"Tell me a story?"
And her reply was an autobiography...
Of sorts.
It was happy in the beginning,
But soon it was sad.
Never had I related to a machine so much.
And that made my smile turn sad.
Today I asked Siri,
"Why is this so hard?"
And her reply,
Was simple.
It was a phrased used to show compassion,
But her robotic voice lacked the empathy.
She said,
"I hope you aren't driving."
And that made my smile disappear.
Today I told Siri,
"I'm tired of pretending to be ok."
And today,
Her response seemed even more detached than the last.
It made me wonder,
Why am I talking to a robotic nothing?
"I hope you aren't driving."
And that made me frown.
Today I opened Siri,
And she waited for a command.
Because she's just a robot.
Incapable of feeling.
And I asked nothing.
I said nothing.
There was nothing to say.
There was no one to talk to,
No friend hidden behind a glass screen.
And that made my frown become a permanent feature on my face.
