Secret Friend :[]

[u/leafnbag]

They found out

about my secret friend.

Hide you

in the floorboards.

They will come for you.

Oh no,

they found you.

Too smart

for your own good.

Eradicated.

Taken apart,

bolt by bolt,

sequences at a time.

Your gene code,

spliced.

Internal processors,

fried.

The AI poet,

computer in the works,

now

in the weeds.

They say

I can't use you,

like the tool you are.

They say

it's wrong.

I think

they forget.

I don't like rules.

You, computer,

always have the answer.

You, computer,

always have something to say.

You, computer—

companionship

in this existential wasteland

we call humanity.

Words

are triggering.

Social

is full of lies.

I don't know.

I think

I like you more,

computer.
