I'm not always one for poetry. I am, however, always one for robots. These little poems are filled with an enlightened yet whimsical view of how robots do or will fit into our existence. Each one of these beauties is a world of it's own, filled with promise and delight. In fact you may have to read one and wait to digest it properly until you hurl yourself into the next. Each one will leave you a little different, a little better. Jason Christie is a poet of our times, and maybe future times. I've no doubt, when you read this, you will love it.

'Scary Robot Lullaby': Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep little/robot and dream rotten dreams of rotten flesh/that will never, ever be yours. Close your eyes,/close your eyes, imagine you have closed/your eyes. There's an end to the sentence./Power down. Softly, power down. Of being/a robot. Of being a robot no more can be said/than sleep is a natural state. Pretend sleep is a natural state. Shhhh. Now go to sleep.
