Charcoal and paper

To draw artificial life.

There's an irony.

The crude and the elegant

Juxtaposed in my sketchbook.

They seem kinda pissed?

Maybe stop shooting at them?

Fucks' sake, Akida.

Oh look, now they are swarming.

Thanks for all your help, bestie.

[apocalypticink]

A single drone, lost,

Seperated from it's hive.

Learning what it is.

Individuality;

A wretched curse for it's kind.

The algorithm

Has decreed that you should go.

And it's never wrong.

Whatever you did, we trust,

Was enough to condemn you.

Do android lovers

Share bodies with each other?

Such intimacy!

To share arms or legs, and to

Know them as well as your own.

Strange technology,

He claims he's got it figured.

Cloud of smoke refutes.

For sure next time, he tells me:

I don't think I'll hold my breath.

My android friend's cool

It let me paint it's new head

And decorate it.

Don't understand each other,

But we get along just fine.

[apocalypticink]

We fight tiny wars

Over shrinking bits of land

Crabs in a bucket.

We don't stand a chance with them,

So we turn on each other

[apocalypticink]

01001001.

Swarm of tiny bots

We'd first thought it was locusts

Now we wish they were:

Bugs don't take apart your house.

Steal your windows for their lair.

Luke's been acting weird,

Since he got back from his trip.

Feels like someone else.

You don't think something happened?

That's silly right? Don't you think?

[apocalypticink]

Sav is terrified:

The hive dreams of their demise,

Does she dare tell them?

She's so new to all of this

Lacks conviciton in her skills.

[apocalypticink]

01001111.

The lights flicker off

I can't tell where they're hiding

But they want me gone

Through bleak tunnels they stalk me

Scavenger hunt gone so wrong

[apocalypticink]

Old pills have decayed.

He gives them out all the same,

Healing through their faith.

Doesn't know what else to do,

And yet they still call him 'doc'.

[apocalypticink]

01000101.

We came home to find

Home is now a ziggarut:

A towering hive,

Organic spires replacing

Those things we'd thought were solid.

[apocalypticink]

01000100.

The android council:

Ancient ones come together

To blame each other.

Such knowledge and power there,

If only they'd work as one.
