Can you look past what you see?

Maybe we will just hook up with robots.
Yeah, that sounds good. Built to spec,
programmed to the satisfaction of the end
user, guaranteed to perform as advertised.

How blissfully happy we will be,
sitting upon our billions of thrones,
served by our creations. There will be
no reason to consider that we share
the one of twenty basic models, not
with the ‘everything you ever wanted
added extra’ app. Progress baby.

Until then, the continued search for
magical moments, found only in the
chaotic stream of existence, in our
beautiful flurry of atoms. The flesh
and blood and bones, used to house
the synapses of connection, life lived.
