COMPLETION: FRAGMENTS Sculpture #28
I must return to my own time.
There’s no tomorrow in space.
Tomorrow’s an idea that’s lost by the day.
Tomorrow isn’t going anywhere…
The future was here
and now everything is familiar.
We know how
the human race died.
I feel so sad, I do. I cried.
But don’t cry too hard.
My robot body,
it still has beauty in it.
I must return to my own time.
There’s no tomorrow in space.
Tomorrow’s an idea that’s lost by the day.
Tomorrow isn’t going anywhere…
The future was here
and now everything is familiar.
We know how
the human race died.
I feel so sad, I do. I cried.
But don’t cry too hard.
My robot body,
it still has beauty in it.
I must return to my own time.

I feel so sad, I do. I cried.
But don’t cry too hard.
My robot body,

“I tend to think of poetry as a technology, as an ancient, durable data storage solution. Humans invented poetic devices to save and transmit information: behaviors, stories, and memories that we had no other way of storing before written language. For many people, poetry and technology don’t go together. They regard poetry as the essence of what it means to be human, and technology as soulless, unemotional, nonhuman. But technology is what has made us human over time.”
