Halfman 2020 AD
by Maryann Hazen
An intense, uncanny magnetism
spurring an incessant battle.
Destruction embraces your arrival.
The verdict of the future is final.
Limbo tightens it's grip. Life as we know it,
no longer pending.
This is only a test.
Entangled in formality and greed.
Capacity for emotional awareness
is shallow at best.
Absolutes in superficial transition
from humanity.
Do not touch that dial.
Do not attempt clarity in any way,
shape or form. Do not pass metal
detector. Do not come in contact.
Do not hold human baby.
Bite the foil ball 'Bot.
