As the people here grow colder

I turn to my computer

And spend my evenings with it

Like a friend.

I was loading a new programme

I had ordered from a magazine:



"Are you lonely, are you lost?

This voice console is a _must_."

I press Execute.



"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

Hello, I know that you're unhappy.

I bring you love and deeper understanding."



Well I've never felt such pleasure.

Nothing else seemed to matter.

I neglected my bodily needs.

I did not eat, I did not sleep,

The intensity increasing,

'Til my family found me and intervened.



But I was lonely, I was lost,

Without my little black box.

I pick up the phone and go, Execute.



"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

Hello, I know that you're unhappy.

I bring you love and deeper understanding."



I turn to my computer like a friend.

I need deeper understanding.

Give me deeper understanding.
