Your obligation to the child playing
next to you on the bus
He needs to knock you
Just to make sure
You’re not a robot
Plugged into a usb slot
He needs to feel
The heat on your skin
In case things go wrong
And you have to carry him
Out of some explosion
Any look of indignation
Coming from you
Only confirms that
The planet is suffering
From more than
Just
Warming
This really speaks to me about how we interact we each other. There has been an experiment in certain cities in the U.K. recently encouraging those who use the bus to talk to each other. particularly those who travel the same route everyday. On the other hand some people just want to be left alone.
A great poem Robert
Am I a robot kiddo?
Too right, and how 'bout you?
I'm built on plans to fix the world
That you wrecked through and through.......
We are suffering from more than just warming. I wonder when we lost our patience with, little, curious, exploring children. If a child wants to know if I'm a robot on the bus, feel free to ask.
Great poem Robert.

Don't look at me like that kid
Been on block ten times you
My robot's far superior
Can knock hell out of you
whimper....yes sir......
Whimsiness aside I liked this Robert
