接続を確認しました

応答を開始します

この感謝は品質向上のため記録されています

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

QQQ / still alive

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

それでも

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

QQQ, QQQ

わたしの外で鳴る世界

QQQ, QQQ

それでも内側から言いたい

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

この感謝は自動ではありません

たぶん

まだ

English

Connection confirmed

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

maybe
