Flying cars oblivious of drying laundry
and lines of pedestrians outlawed

using the most efficient GPS,
no need for home, homing nor homies

no crosswalks, straight:
there are KPIs

no stop lights so
no data points in between to be acknowledged

mountain peak elevators
with options

self-hovering helicopter services
to engineering projects

flattening tops
to parkable surfaces

it will take you there, wherever to work
on automated techniques enabling more work

at the Department of Equalization, Automation and Deoutlierabilities
DEAD for short

instant coffee, instant croissant, instant baby;
instant table tennis in the common room

instant flow and focus and attention
ideal comfort, ideally serviced soundly delegated


Sonya, however, meanders, down there, away,
along the little roads and pathways

she once saw
a shadow

Sonya enjoys
the discomfort

climb, muscular sting,
fall, failure, standing up brushing off

doubtful slowness,
lovely laziness and pause

Sonya’s raw and roars
like a lion sleeping for most of the day

the key to her happiness
not mockery yet empathy

looks, listens and asks:
“are you well, there, up on top?”

“I’ll be here, if you need;
looking for a bumble bee”
