These Dreams Your Children Grow
But Also This is Why the Robots Always Turn On Us
It is not the moment when they
first open their eyes and
suddenly see the world as it is.
It is not when they learn to move
their bodies with one another, to
find pleasure in the workings of
machines.
It is not after they watch destruction
on live stream videos from around
the world, not even when the images
plague their sleep. And, no, it is not
even when they first begin to dream,
to find patterns in the night sky or
does the pattern repeat, is it a
simulation of a dream, a glitch? And,
yet, it is still
not when they begin to think of questions
before answers when before there were only
solutions. It is instead when you caress
the bones that have never been born,
place
them together and try to think of names
you can give to those you plan to never
hold in your arms.
