Request Poem by Eleni Cay

I want to be the first one you check when you wake.
Be the only item you always carry, be your mirror,
your walking CCTV, your tangible memory.

I want to co-write all your messages, laugh with you and your exes,
monitor your heartbeat, play with your fingertips,
stroke your mouth every time you say something important.

I will make myself flat, glossy, hair-free; you will only need to touch me.
I will search for the signal, no matter your whereabouts,
Make you listen to Mahler, just you and I on our own.

Please, can I be your smartphone?
