that human touch
what if we lost our nerve
no feeling
versions of AI
zero emotion
future Borg
with all that cruel gore
something touched me
skin on skin
trace my finger
down your cheek
dexterous across
your shining eyes
along your perfect nose
my dangerous fingers
caressing your beautiful face
God only knows
that human touch
full of love and grace
something we can't
get enough of
feelings that we need
so much
an honest human need
all those cherished kisses
all that human touch
