My second job as an AI is just something to make ends meet. It's kinda fun being an enhanced version of myself and getting paid to work from home. We can see the clients but they can't see us, they just see the AI "being" or whatever .The technology of it all is wild! It's quite complex and fascinating. Ethical? Who knows...   Anyway, the other night I received a "call" as soon as I logged in. It's usually slow yet steady but something felt intuitively odd about tonight . The name on the screen was common so I didn't think much of it. Then I saw him, _____.  My lips parted slightly as I clenched my jaw. I barely recognized him but his eyebrows were still partially connected and still full of mischief so I knew it was him. "Hello?" he said. His half smile and facial hair was still the same too. The gray at his temples and chin was new though. I  missed him and it had been so many years but I was on the clock. Then it hit me: he doesn't know it's me. The only thing that me and my AI have in common(appearance wise) is skintone. I wonder if that means something...."You there?".  I  can never quiet my mind in yoga but in that moment....absolute silence. I put my headset on. I saw my Ori and Orunmila smile at each other. They were the only ones that knew what was about to happen next....

I saw how he looked at him. I missed wearing my Levi 724 hi rise bootcut jeans. Now I just wear triple X shirts and khakis. It didn't matter until I saw the way he looked at ______. He seemed interested in our conversation but now he's in his phone. I abruptly said " Hey, I gotta head out." and just started walking away. I wish I could tell him why all my clothes are so baggy...what happened to me. I had blocked him on everything by the time I reached the corner. He'll be fine. I doubt he'll even notice. Did he even notice my clothes? oh well...I wonder what time the botanica closes. He had pretty eyelashes and big hands.  #seeyounextlifetime
