if i was a robot

if i was a robot
by softserve
If I was a robot     I’d self-destruct     everyday
before breakfast     and after lunch     I’d reconstruct myself
and I’d whisper to myself     at the table     several
times in a row     the word love over and over
until it started to click     until something clicked
and then I’d turn myself off     and in my dreams
I would sit on my sofa     and lick the telephone
receiver     for the salt of your voice
