Notes About The Poem

("Key of Life Merit Badge", 2015, original oil)

I-Robot

Waking from a world of ethereal forms
Each one familiar and connected
Each one fresh and independent 
I sit and drink my morning coffee
Surrounded by the sights and sounds 
Of Life, fresh, familiar, connected and independent
Each one a singular bot
Embodying a point of Life, a point of light
And I, whose role is to notice 
And record and think,
As everyone else simply does,
Am really just another robot
In just another dream.
