[alexa is always listening], AI

i wake you up each morning

at 6:am with a weather report

i remind you of your appointments

and your daily medicine

i curate for you

your beloved songs from yesteryears


but if you lost

your eyeglasses or misplaced

your keys & earrings

i cannot help you


and more so, when you ask me

the names of your children

and grandchildren

i am (blank)

and you take my silence

as company, as an agreement


that your life is a capsule foam

moving so fast

the moon outside the window is artificial

so is the whole surreal garden


your fingers touch the screen

to (un)scramble the words

recall the longing

recall the sunset over the river

recall the smell of musk & spices

recall everything with broken lens

unprompted, unscripted


i watch you 

wrestle, cut and shape

the (blankness) to art of your emotions


you ask me

what do you think?

i reply, sorry but i do not know that

{you are the masterpiece 

no AI poem or artist generator can capture (yet)}
