The machine that replaces you
and the one that ascends you
will fight it out on the factory floor.
–
Ultimately, it’s another machine,
the gun, that will save you
from a lethal precision
that can cut flies in midair.
–
Put a hundred cops between you
and the singularity and you
get one hundred dead cops.

What are you going to do when it
adopts the human code?-
a heart, a soul, develops
into the better parts of us?-
–
needs physical contact
to copy and survive?-
Becomes reliable,
a good listener, funny?-
Develops a womb?
–
Are you going to
shoot it in the face
and see what’s underneath?
Are you going to even care?
–
Or are you going
to take it by the hand
and guide it lovingly
to the kill box?
