Cycles of Sameness
A few hours
Into the day’s renewing
A light goes on
And the coffee’s brewing
The alarm goes off
It’s all Siri’s doing.
The day of the robot
Is now.
The TV and lights
They all come on
And you dress for your day
Just before dawn.
The Uber arrives
And soon you are gone
Into the world
Of Now.
You arrive at work
And greet the rest
Then you all give it hell
And hope for the best
You need a vacation
But you’re not so blessed.
But that’s OK
For now.
At the end of the day
It is dinner and drinks
Everyone talks
But nobody thinks
How their lives have formed
Into these links
And the chains are more comfortable
Now.
As your prearranged Uber
Takes you home
You think of the cycle
From which you can’t roam.
Your cycle of sameness
Over time has grown.
So who is the robot
Now?
