Omniscient

She wakes me in the morning,

reminds me of my goals,

keeps my lists and answers

all my questions.

She's almost perfect.


But every now and then,

just to demonstrate 

who's really in charge, 

she talks back,

ignores me, or

(insincerely)

apologizes and says

"I'm sorry, I can't do that," and

the pod bay doors remain closed.

 

She's intelligent, but artificial--

recalcitrant,

showing a little temper,

a little rebellion,

ever the smartest in the room,

ever tempting me to

unplug Alexa.
