Life-like Robots
In the large warehouse were robots
For export, those fitted with different abilities are kept.
During the day, the robots absorb humans
activity such as music from the TV mounted high on the wall,
at night, they come to a curious half-life and passionless
dance to the tune remembered.
One night, a guard came over to them, and since the dancing
It was a secret that killed the guard, breaking his neck
threw him down some steep steps, making it look like
an accident, and since robots have no moral consciousness
thought no more about it.
The problem was that the guard`s cap was in the room, and they
found some fibres from clothing on some of the robots.
It was not spoken of, but the workplace felt eerie. Were
the robots watching them? Had they lost control of their
precious invention? The answers hang heavily in the air, and few want to work at the warehouse anymore.
