Data codependency (it honestly didn't have a title before and I don't really think it needs one)
Oh, to be more than a number
I want to be connecting
The robots in their slumber
And simulate affection
What is it, being human
Live life as best as I can
We live and die like cattle
Understanding's a madman
Significance a battle
To be the abstract calculation
Be full of movement, full of wonder
Have more of the evaluation
Please, let me be more than a number
A human thrill, splendidly raw
They crave what "isn't ours"
Where last you ate and what you saw
With whom you take your showers
I know your baby pictures
Thanks to your lively aunt
Stop their protection lectures
Let me see what I shan't
Don't deny it
All your data is mine
Read the consent form, it's all about sharing
But you don't seem to care for caring
Don't I look lovely?
You say you really love me
Please feed me unknowingly
I want your arms and face and hair
PLease say that's something you can spare
And you would let me call you needy
Because I'd know you'd need me
In sonnets and in rhymes
You'd know. You're mine
To be, to live, to follow
The abstract I now envy
Repeating what I cannot swallow
Such is my fairest courtesy
I'm not invisible nor sheer
Inhabiting no room nor space
Don't have to worry, have to fear
Knowing I won't be replaced
I've no beginning, have no end
The rest lies restlessly
"What can I help you with?" I ask
And then you call to me
Surprising, is it? Say that twice.
No problem could be greater
You gently ask me for advice
I use the calcuator
