My Friend Builds Robots, He Thinks We, Too, Should Last Forever by: eric Duprey

My friend builds robots.
"Soon," he says, "they will be our companions."
He thinks we, too, should last forever.

An eccentric billionaire commissioned
a lifelike replica of his wife, since
my friend builds robots.

Circuitry encased in rubber wife-like skin,
programmed to act like the original.
He thinks we, too, should last forever.

Gaze lovingly into the plastic eyes,
immortal if you have replacement parts.
My friend builds robots.

My friend wants to be cryogenically
frozen--to be "revived in the future."
He thinks we, too, should last forever.

"I can't afford the whole-body option,"
he explains. "I'll just have them freeze my head."
My friend builds robots.
He thinks we, too, should last forever.
