Mark J. Halliday Poet I do not know?

Adult Children: a New Species

They look like us, 
On the outside,
Only just younger.

They walk upright,
Can speak English;
No, not foreigners.

We nourish them,
Provide for them;
Help Them grow stronger.

They sprout gadgets,
To interface
One with another.

Prefer online
To face to face.
Virtual lover?

Will they survive,
Even evolve,
To become human
