(With apologies to Robert Browning)
That’s my last robot painted on the wall,
looking as if she were alive. I call
that piece a doozy, now. My favorite bot
would smile at any android with a watt
of reason in each integrated circuit.
Her duty was to me, yet she would shirk it.
She blushed at all AIs. Feeling revolted,
I pulled apart all pieces that were bolted,
yanked out her processor, and tossed each part
into the bin. Yet I do have a heart.
Although she bore herself as if alive,
I shall not tolerate a robot’s jive!
You’ve got a cuter android for me? Great!
It would be nice to have another mate.
I’m sure she’ll be responsive to commands—
a bot that really, truly understands.
