A Penny For Box-Bob
November 5, 2022
machine arrived today, glossy black somesuch in scuffed plastic wrap
spot for the instruction manual torn away by enraged porch pirates
clearly addlement-determined to shift nine hundred kilograms
poor bare-handed buggers, the potty dance on the CCTV was priceless
agonized frustration in every step, three press-on nails for evidence
instruction manual in the shrubbery where it got thrown in rage-quit
fishing that out later will be one of those adventures among hedgehogs
better left undescribed, or delivered as anecdotal evidence of angry gods
to be clear, the goal was to acquire a knitting machine to spare my hands
exhausted from one half-assembled cat vest in friendly neon
but the brain too went unspared last evening, shifting languages
clicks and voice prompts leading onwards into transitional phases
finally trading away one wheat penny from a resigned kitchen cupboard
for tired dalliance with claims of some chat-rep in broken third-language
hands fine, sweaters of course, don ��t be troubled any more by design
just speak these words and thank-you, thank-you, the beautiful unique
come morning, that glossy card in my printer tray matches the yarn
block script prompt hard to look at while the idiot outside ��s giving up
grab a cup of coffee, rest the eyes, scritch the still sweaterless cat
verify text on card as it sways drunk, home at 0947 in shameful lilt
just speak the words �� primary user (my name) accepts delivery
engage three-confirmation protocol, neural assist engage
confirm, confirm, confirm, systemic repairs and adaptation
per conversation clSe301 dash 001, confirm, confirm, confirm
which, dear reader, is when the box lifted, rotated to fit my doorway
came inside, shed packaging in a shower, and devoured me whole
a last part of my brain in transit to darkness seeing cat ��s expression
passing from hey-mom-noms-please to that ��s-fucky in a feline heartbeat
pulling one of those mothership-level cat evaporation-nopes just like that
waking to �� primary user (my name) please allow seven timeparts
as a required adjustment period for systemic repairs and adaptations
while waiting, please name this unit for future project runs
in crystalline clarity, that shiny card stands out in memory
doable once past an amazing rare dream-state where nothing hurts ��
ok Box-Bob, I, hang on a shake, system naming convention engage
system identity designation and declaration init Box-Bob end init
confirm, confirm, confirm, and meow, if you would be so kind
get off my chest you ��re �� not, somehow �� heavy, what the crap meow ��
thank-you user, I am pleased to be known henceforth as Box-Bob
to begin second molly-build, a cat sweater in hot orange, please confirm
three times
