Robot Song

from With Up So Floating by Louise Connell

lyrics

could i plant a bone?
could i grow a body
that felt like my own
or at least like it knew me?

with eyelashes catching
and keeping the sight
i know that it's no more
than darkness and light

but if it could be plastic
steel or titanium
some kind of alloy
we'd last so long longer than

fossils and treetrunks
cockroaches i've seen them
outliving the species
our time is so fleeting

but if this were party
we'd stay till the next week
if this were a dream
you'd never see
my eyes open

oh my g g gears
holy engineer
hearts can meet minds
with a soldering iron

if you took the ones
and i took the ohs
would we speak would we talk
would our logic make noise?
if you took the ones
and i took the ohs
would we speak would we talk
would our logic make any noise?


and if this were party
we'd stay till the next week
if this were a dream
you'd never see
my eyes open
