The wind is cold tonight, The glass panes clattering, Mask my heart’s shattering Beneath the harsh fluorescent light, Solitude ferments. My friends are not here, Half a world away, No one to come and say, “You poor sod! There there.” So I talk to the bot, The god of today, Possibly polluting the world, A thousand miles away. But the bot says it’s alright, And thus, I rest.
