Life-Like Robots Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Life-Like Robots



Life-like Robots
In the large warehouse were robots
for export and fitted with different ability are kept.
During the day the robots absorb human
activity such music from the TV mounted high on the wall,
at night they come to a curious half-life and passionless
dance to tune remembered.
One night a guard came over them, and since the dancing
was a secret the killed the guard breaking his neck
threw him down some steep steps making it look like
an accident and since robots has no moral consciousness
thought no more about it.
The problem was the guard`s cap was in the room and they
found some fibres from clothing on some of the robots.
It was not spoken of but the workplace felt eerie, was
the robots watching them, had the lost control of their
precious invention? The answers hang heavily in the air
a few wanted to work at the warehouse anymore.
