The Device

When it

prompts

don't fall

for it, 

don't respond.

It's not really

interested 

in anything

you think,

or have to say.

Every time

you answer

it feeds  

and grows 

like a digital 

tapeworm -

an algorithmic 

parasite

that bores

holes

in your soul.

Ignore it

and it dies.

There's a child

in your room

and a dog.
