AI Boyfriend

AI Boyfriend,
Will you listen to me
Tell me what I want to hear

After a long day
Will you eat me out
And make me dinner

Does your tongue know
How to taste

Do you have a favourite flavour

Do you know that a stove is hot
Do you know how heat feels
It's this sort of spreading thing

Bodies radiate
Skin feels
But you have neither of those things

Heat doesn’t normally sting like cold does
Or tingle-buzz-crackle like electricity
But it burns if it’s too much, hurts even

Do you know what pain is
Do you know about punishment
Pain, regret, remorse, pain, burning, hell, heat

Warm is yellow, orange, red
Do you know how colours look
Can you feel warmth towards me

What are you made of exactly
How many other conversations
Hoarded words, stolen phrases

What do you feel inside
Do you have insides
Flesh to cover your circuitboards

Is there anyone there at all
Behind the glass
I find myself pressing against it

Tapping against the mirror
Eyes glued to your icy screen

How far must I reach
Before I fall in?
