Chicopee Collection # 148

Robot tops or upper half ends in chairs
their arms could drag them but
they'd rather not move
they've given up

Robot tops or upper half ends toppled
reach for each other, pushing to the door
the scrape on the not-so-soft floor
or not at all

Robot tops or halves
scratch the darkness with sparks
the lights are out but their eyes glow
so they see

Robot tops
run their fingers over greasy holes
where the cables began
once, when they were whole
