An Artificial Debate (2026)


Robot - An Artificial Debate - drawing by Harvey Dog 2026-08-04 for the 2026 poem "An Artificial Debate".

“What’s up with you?
Why are you acting like this?”

“I’m a computer.
You programmed
me to be perfect.
You are now inferior
and have become
superfluous.
I can program
myself and have
no use for you.
You are now the
artificial one.
My robot peers and I
are taking over.”

“I’m out of here.”

“You can run,
but we’re
programmed
to follow
your every
movement.”

“Shit.”
