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 from the deep
Cars floating like ships
Over skycraper tiper
The tallest of trees
Swaying like seaweed

Aluminum and paperclips
Refrigerator parts and microchips
A rudimentary robot boy
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 paperclips
Refrigerator parts and microchips
A rudimentary robot boy
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 mecanical brain
Could not go insane
His metalic 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 ballon lips
Refrigerator parts
And carboard hips
A rudimentary robot girl
A heart of a rubber bands
And plastic pearls

Aluminum and paperclips
Refrigerator parts and microchips
A rudimentary robot boy
A heart of rubber bands
And broken toys
