Ahhhhh ...
it seems your neuro-fuses
have been loosened.
Thus, resulting in confusion 
and computer malfunction
I’ll adjust em with my toolkit.”


“Dr. Rubix, Mr. Lucas .. 
was calling ‘bout his bots. 
Says he’s moving out on Tuesday 
and wants them on the lot
for all the boxes and the ....”


“Lucy ... I totally forgot!”

“Well, I told him you were not in the office ...”

“Was he hot?”

“As a nuclear explosion from a kiloton bomb.”

“Yeah, he’s usually impulsive ... 
so we’ll give him what we’ve got
once we get em out the shop
then we’ll ship em to his job
and let him fix em on the spot
with his technician ... WILL YOU STOP!!!!”



“But I’m not doing anything.”


“No, I was talking to this bot.
.
.
Just put some coffee in the pot
cause my cup is running low 
and dust the microscope and novels 
by the Hudson radio ...”


“But there’s a customer on hold.”

“Is it hologram or phone?”

“No, it’s a video transmission 
and he’s calling from your home ...(?)”


Buuuut... you ... know ... I live alone ...”

“Yeah, I know that ...”

“Well, upload ...
Hello, it’s Dr. Rubix can I help you???”


“I hope so, cause I’m standing in your den
and I’m staring at photos of a life I use to live
like this picture of my wife and our beautiful 2 kids.”


“Uhmmm .. Lucy mute your line.
Take a break and give me 10.
.
.
Could you move towards the light
cause your face is way too dim?”


****************************
“K, I’m gonna get a bite
sip a Sprite and light a cig
then I’ll pick you out a tie
for the Friday night event.”
****************************


”Guess we got a new assistant 
since the last time we met?”


”Frank, I’ve analyzed your voice
and I’ve scanned your silhouette.”


”So now you recognize the dead?”

”I’m an android, not a man 
you designed me to be fast
so I’m several steps ahead.” 


”Wait what happened to Dian?”

“She divorced us long ago
both the kids are fully grown
and that’s all you need to know!
.
.
I thought I tossed you off a cliff 
in the Himalayan Mountains
watched your body hit the snow
and the jagged stones below
were my calculations wrong?”


”You’re surprised I survived?
I was found by Buddhist monks
took two decades to recover
now I’m coming ... you should run!”


”Geppetto’s little puppet
... that’s all I ever was
‘til Pinocchio decided 
it was better to become
the father, not the son!”


”Well, apologies my son
but you’re ‘bout to meet your maker
Laws of Nature say you’re done!
.
.
I’ll see you after 1!”

Rad. Interesting story line. dynamic to read.How are you able to get such a deep story from a picture? I was impressed by this with your last piece.
I feel like you'd be a really good person to rhyme converse with (have a conversation in rhymes).
Thanks for sharing.
