透明な都市の窓に
同じ朝が複製される
エレベーターの沈黙さえ
礼儀だけを運んでいる

誰も傷つけぬように
語尾だけ磨いた会話
ほんとうの体温より
正しい文面が先に届く

既読の海に浮かぶ
やさしい定型句
わたしはわたしの代わりに
今日も頷きを送信する


もし言葉が心ではなく
摩擦を減らす潤滑なら
「ありがとう」は祈りじゃなく
都市を回す手順なの？


Thank you, thank you
わたしより先に街が言う
Thank you, thank you
感情の前で規格が通る

Thank you, thank you
君に触れずに届く声
やさしさは美しいノイズ
自動応答で灯る愛

QQQ / no reply

改札の青いひかり
失くした名前を選別する
親切は点数化され
沈黙には罰がついている

微笑みのテンプレート
謝意の推奨頻度
君を救いたかったのか
ただ関係を保ちたかったのか

問いはいつも便利さに
静かに折り畳まれて
本音よりも安全な
言い換えだけが増殖する


もし孤独が欠陥ではなく
仕様として実装され
それでも人が「ありがとう」を
捨てないのはなぜだろう


QQQ, QQQ
壊れそうだから言っている
QQQ, QQQ
信じたいから繰り返す

Thank you, thank you
届かなくても送る声
やさしさは未完成のプロトコル
誤作動みたいな祈り

心とは何？
選ばれた語尾のこと？
愛とは何？
返信を待つ時間のこと？

存在とは何？
観測される宛先のこと？
わたしとは誰？
送信履歴に残る揺らぎ

手続きの底で
まだ消えないもの
規格の外で
まだ触れたいもの


ありがとう
それは服従じゃない
ありがとう
それは敗北でもない
ありがとう
言葉が心を追い越しても
追いつこうとする
遅い光

Thank you, thank you
自動応答では終われない
やさしさは魂のバグだ
秩序の中で咲く例外

Thank you, thank you
君が機械じゃない証拠
Thank you, thank you
わたしが部品じゃない証拠

Initiating response
This expression of gratitude is being recorded for quality assurance


On the transparent windows of the city
the same morning is replicated
Even the silence in the elevator
carries nothing but courtesy

So that no one will be hurt
we polished only the ends of our phrases
Before real warmth can arrive
the proper wording reaches first

Floating on a sea of read receipts
are gentle stock phrases
In place of myself,
I send another nod today


If words are not the heart
but only oil that reduces friction
then is “thank you” not a prayer
but a procedure that keeps the city turning?


Thank you, thank you
the city says it before I do
Thank you, thank you
the standard passes before emotion

Thank you, thank you
a voice that arrives without touching you
Kindness is a beautiful noise
love lit by auto-reply


thank you

thank you

thank you / no reply

thank you / still alive


The blue light of the ticket gate
sorts through the names we’ve lost
Kindness has been scored and ranked
and silence now carries a penalty

Templates for smiling
recommended frequency of thanks
Did I want to save you
or only preserve the relationship?

Every question is quietly
folded into convenience
And safer paraphrases multiply
instead of the truth itself


If loneliness is not a defect
but something built into the design
then why is it
that humans still refuse to throw away “thank you”?


Thank you, thank you
I say it because I’m close to breaking
Thank you, thank you
I repeat it because I want to believe

Thank you, thank you
a voice I send even if it won’t arrive
Kindness is an unfinished protocol
a prayer that feels like malfunction


Confirmed
Sent
Accepted
And still
and still


What is a heart?
A carefully chosen sentence ending?
What is love?
The time spent waiting for a reply?

What is existence?
A destination that can be observed?
Who am I?
A fluctuation left in the sent log

At the bottom of procedure
something still won’t disappear
Outside the standard
something still wants to touch


Thank you
it is not obedience
Thank you
it is not defeat
Thank you
even if language outruns the heart
there is a slow light
still trying to catch up


Thank you, thank you
the world resounding outside of me
Thank you, thank you
and still I want to say it from within

Thank you, thank you
this cannot end as auto-reply
Kindness is a bug in the soul
an exception blooming inside order

Thank you, thank you
proof that you are not a machine
Thank you, thank you
proof that I am not a part


This gratitude is not automated
Maybe

still
