Friend 2.0
By Ashley O’Hare
The new model of friend
is frustrating to use.
I press emoticons,
but never feel emotions.
We spend hours of time together
in the vast void of cyber space.
Their avatar is unique-
I wonder if it matches their face.
I could write a biography
on the person they pretend to be-
would they be a source that’s reputable
to put on the bibliography?
Have I been spilling my heart
to a stranger fluent in lies?
A well cloaked, heartless AI?
Have I wasted my time
searching for an internet connection?
Perhaps the next update
will bring better luck.
“I press emoticons,
but never feel emotions.”
“A well cloaked, heartless AI?”
Absolutely loved this poem, Ashley! Amazing work 😊
