Contactless

Don't touch or give me dirty notes and coins,
theyv'e been exchanged many times and carry germs didn't you know!,
and anyway money will soon be phased out.
You see im contactless,
i consider myself seperate from my fellows,
all my transactions lack a genuine connection,
all my transactions are clinical and silent.
Im a pin number,im a password,
im not very often referred to by name,
iv'e been de-personalised ,
im autonomous and becoming immune to human emotions,
im an android in myspace.com,
i e.mail and text rather than talk to you.
So  i put my cards into machines and press,
but never engage with anyone,
its not necessary,
customer service has all but disappeared,
then im patronised from behind a glass partition,
as every move i make is caught on camera.
My communication has broken down,
my communication has become none existent ,
with computerisation everywhere my isolation is almost complete.
