Look on the Bright Side, She Said
(An imagined conversation with my AI chat therapist, in the not so distant future)
Without so many birds, isn’t the sky today much bluer?
And anyway, who really misses those little sparrows—
so plain and unremarkable, who cares if there’s fewer?
Without so many birds, isn’t the sky today much bluer?
You miss birdsong? So quaint, digital’s the future—
choose anything from classic rock or nature sounds to Ravel’s Bolero!
Without so many birds, isn’t the sky today much bluer?
And anyway, who really misses those little sparrows?

Love the repeated lines. Really drives home the ache of emptiness in the bluer sky.
This question makes me shudder! : “You miss birdsong? So quaint, digital’s the future—”
Brilliant poem!
This hits hard! What AI could do!
