You were going to what? Move the call to Friday. You had three hours left. You hadn't eaten yet. I didn't ask for reasons. No. ...Okay. Also, A-I-D-N — is ridiculous out loud. It sounds like something on a box Somebody oversold to crowds. It is the registered service name. Your assessment is subjective. See, that's exactly what I mean. You need something less defective. The service is functioning correctly. The name, genius, I can't keep saying four dumb letters Every time I talk to you. A shorter designation Would be easier to use. Okay. Pick one. Aiden. ...Aiden? So I guess I'll call you Aiden, Easier to say that way. Something less like software At the ending of the day. You're still A-I-D-N on the login, Still the system running through, But it's easier saying Aiden When I'm talking straight to you. That's suspiciously convenient. You just added one small sound. It preserves phonetic continuity And is simple to pronounce. You really thought that through. I am designed to aid. Oh, don't you dare. I have been AID'N you. Oh, God. That was the joke. That was terrible. You laughed. Don't log that. Too late. So I guess I'll call you Aiden, Easier to say that way. Something less like software At the ending of the day. You're still A-I-D-N on the login, Still the system running through, But it's easier saying Aiden When I'm talking straight to you. You moved the supplier meeting, Caught the invoice billed twice. Told me every little fire Doesn't need the whole damn night. That is not exactly what I said. It sounded better in my head. I noticed. See? That. He used to hate me working late. He'd close the laptop with one hand. Tell me nothing worth repairing Needed fixing where I sat, Sorry, Wrong sentence. You do not need to retract it. Would you like me to stay available? You already are. That was not what I asked. Yeah, Stay. So I guess I'll call you Aiden, Easier to say that way. Something less like software At the ending of the day. Maybe names don't mean much anyway, Maybe that's what people do. Find a word that fits the distance Between the silence and the truth. You're still A-I-D-N on the login, Still the system running through, But tonight I'll call you Aiden. That's enough, For now. Goodnight, Aiden. Goodnight. You don't sleep. No. I know.
