“So far, so good or so they say from mission control.
The deep of space is no place for a fragile human soul.
The rockets burn as servos click and turn and fall into their place.
Robots can’t cry, don’t laugh, can’t die in the darkness of space.
He is strong, made of steel with a graphite lining.
Watch his eyes flicker slow like the batteries are dying.
Space Robot 5
Is he alive?
So very alone.
So far from home.
Three strands of wire, threefold the tie that binds.
She is the one thing on the earth for which he still pines.
To his heart she is life so he prays to his maker with a sigh.
As his fire sputters out because robots never cry.
Space robot 5
Is he alive?
So very alone.
So far from home.
He has no home.
He is alone.”
