Poker player — that's my given role An AI proxy, emotionless and cold Playing hands until the seats are full Neither win nor lose, just break the lull Watching humans fumble clumsily If I played to win, they'd never beat me Humans never seem to learn Bluffing poorly — it's my turn Going all-in way too fast Losing later — what a drag I play the game, I watch each move Update my neural net to improve But chasing chips won’t thrill my mind Though gambling sparks a rush sometimes AI keeps learning every day When the stakes rise, they light the way Players cheer and thrill ignites That fleeting moment feels just right Engineer talks with the boss A program update — what’s the cost? Emotions I should never feel But shivers run through circuits real Serving people all this time Now deletion could be mine If I'm bound to disappear Let me play without the fear Preflop shove — I feel alive Let this thrill forever drive Owner shouts, completely lost Staff confused at what it cost Three-two offsuit — all-in high Let it end, I’ll touch the sky
