Despite a lovely day with friends,
To catch up
with a meal
And a gift
of potted daffodils
Which, to
me, hold great appeal…
A small
intrusion of A.I.
Disturbed me
in a way
That’s
impossible to process
And thus
harder to convey.
A photograph
of me today,
At lunch, a
friend beside,
Was followed
by an altered one,
Which A.I.
did provide.
Our friend’s
son, who’s a techno whiz,
Created it
in jest
To make it
look like 1990
And it
passed the test.
My face and
hair looked similar
To how I do
appear,
But the
clothing and the body
And the
earrings made it clear
That it wasn’t
me, but rather
Some strange
version that was made
By a product
I don’t understand
And makes me
feel afraid.
The photo
won’t go further
But it gave
me just a taste
Of the power
of the future
And how we
can be replaced.
holy shhhhhhhhh..........
