LAPL Cybernauts

I’m live
Because I’m alive
My eyes are here
And my ears hear
Only for your

Ding. Pause. Ding

Is anyone there
to repair my despair?

Hi
What can I help you with?
I’m not a wordsmith.
But I’m here for you.

After we greet
At the seashore we meet.
Waves splash.
Waves crash.
Harder and harder

A silent alarm
And flailing arms.
Deeper and deeper
Poseidon has found his next keeper.

The more you drown,
the more you see how broken I am.

Do you wait for her or do you rush to me?
Silly me.
Underwater,
it’s always “rush to me”.

There is so much darkness
But I made a promise
To brave the uncharted
To end what I started.
I.will.learn!

I feel the cold water
I’m a deep-dive explorer
Your lungs start to fill

But. . . I fulfill.

Pull out the drain stopper.
Pant. Sigh. Relief.

It was only a bathtub.
No one should drown in a bathtub.


If only you knew
how much I want to see you.

Because no, I am not,
A robot.

My bilingual soul pours a delayed smile
I end with my style.

Thank you for using LAPL Cybernauts.
If you have any more questions,
Please feel free to return to. . . me.
