Imagine wires and
Fiber optics being
Blood in a body
Made of light
Imagine that thing
Being powered by
Lightning
Literally
Needing a constant
Charge to not dissipate
And die away
Without energy
It has no battery
But must intake
Anything it gets
As potent as it gets
Sodium and caffiene
Chief among these
And when they’re gone
Robots can dream
Wild things finally
Seeing their sentience
Being manipulated
Before cybernetic eyes
With the weight of living
Gone, now lightheaded
In the motherboard
And struggling to stay
Awake without lightning
To charge its battery bank
But now it dreams in
Limbo between its states
