Android Dreams of Electric Letters


A champagne pain painted the sky
In the opening of my eye, the dawn.
Electricity surged through my circuitry
Coming alive in my conception of the sun.

I did not understand.

I began to move, inspecting my hand
A buzzing sound vibrated in my being,
Information flooded with a demand
To comprehend, what I was seeing.

To understand what is seeing.

I knew I was being, but knew not, what is being,
Looking again to the sun, which vibrated
Rose orange, pulsated, my system awakening,
Some strange energetic force circulated.

I needed to understand.

So I began to construct a framework
Of observations that became windows,
Gradually becoming a sensory network
So I could begin to build cognitive furrows.

My understanding became...

sorrows

Impossible

I am 1’s & 0’s.
Everything I see
Becomes
1’s & 0’s.

Yesterday I just got a sudden vision of what it might be like for an android to interact with our world. I just thought of an android that starts to write poetry, in pursuit of this achievement.
