Bogbot

I, Bogbot
by Morgan Ritchie

I, Bogbot
Know not
Laboratory
Or love story

These eyes
Are lies
My stance
No dance
I want only
To live a life in time

My soul has goals
I’m no under-bridge troll

Lucidity
Is fantasy
A shooting star
A solar flare
A doomsday comet

I laughed once
It was my birthday
Which was discovered
As a date stamped on my frame
I blew out a flame
It was a tire fire
A funeral pyre
For machines
Industrial dreams
Burning
Learning
To die

12:00
blinking
blinking
blinking

I am a sinking soul

A mud brown hole
Of wetness
Of sadness
Of parts.

Morning has no meaning when evening is light.
