While the Earth Stands Still

In the high castle,

there is a robot,

his bot-tweets his preferred means

of mis-communication,

but never lies.

The AI-puppet’s name is

- well, it might be Gort.

Artificial used to be

a negative descriptor

and maybe so…

“Can you help us Mr Carpenter?”

(He is not Jesus, He is fiction).

The cars are growing fins

I saw a hoola-hooper

only yesterday I heard

a drive-in opened

in Birnamwood, Wisconsin

A crow sang the blues

and his name was Jim

crack corn and no-one

cares…

The question must be,

is there a fail-safe?

Something to rescue us

from annihilation?

Or only this…
