JOINED POETRY

linked scifaiku

metal being,

made from a meteorite         

born in space

segmented body,

created in their makers image

with six jointed legs

head of wire antennae

and other stolen circuits,

a brain of sorts

can't think yet

can't even function,

a prototype

these ants can build but

haven't learned to program yet,

give them time.
