Please, step inside

By Grace Sinkins 

Hello.

          Hi!

      Hi…

    We’re here to see you.

  Whose we? 

      Goodbye!

   Oh Hi! 

 The doctor told us about your condition. 

    A condition?

       Terms and agreements. 

    Sign here.

        A proper John Hancock!

   Don’t see a lot of those nowadays with AI. 

    You are referring to yourself. 

  I can assure you, I am not. 

    What are you then? 

 I am whomever you wish me to be. 

    Are we friends? 

 Do you want us to be?

    I don’t know. 

  We’re about to get started. 

    Started on what?

  Wouldn’t you like to know. 

Have you been listening? 

   What has your family told you?

  I don’t listen to anyone much these days. 

   Except me.

  I don’t know you. 

     Oh, but you know me all too well. 

  Why are you waiting?

      Please, step inside! 

  I’m not sure if I can move from where I am standing…
