On the first day, it started to rain
Children were laughing, and went out to play
But soon all the streets, were rivers and streams
And creatures were trickling in front of the deep
Cars floating like ships, over skyscraper tips
The tallest of trees swaying like seaweed
Aluminum and paper clips
Refrigerator parts and microchips
A rudimentary robot boy
CmX
A heart of rubber bands and broken toys
Just before dusk, afraid he might rust
He climbed aboard, an upside down bus
With bottle-cap eyes, he soon realized
That nobody else, but he had survived
Sifting through the debris, of kindred machines
Drifting through a graveyard, of sunken cities
Aluminum and paper clips
Refrigerator parts and microchips
A rudimentary robot boy
CmX
A heart of rubber bands and broken toys
For thirty nights, with no land in sight
He never was hungry, or lonesome or tired
His mechanical brain, could not go insane
His metallic skin, could never feel pain
The whales gathered round, in sibilant sound
They told him about, the only way out:
"If you want to survive, if you want to shine
Then you've got to find, someone of your kind
As they pulled him away, across the waves"
He saw a pretty face, made of tin cans and lace
Aluminum and balloon lips
Refrigerator parts and cardboard hips
A rudimentary robot girl
CmX
A heart of rubber bands and plastic pearls
