"Time
and Life"
Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

Automatic awareness
Awakened decisions
Autopilot actions
Self-computerized machinations
Age old wisdoms
More numbers in the add column
Robotic efficiency
Silently passing time
Until time is past
And the wheels turn a bit slower
Give me
some time for
Contemplation
Without stopping the clock
Too long.
Give me some time for
Reflection
Without showing too much
Despair
Give me some time for
Life
Although death surrounds me
Interesting
conversations
If only with myself
Sectioned nuance
Slivers of light in the distance
Age old cliches
Repeat and multiply
Robotic efficiency
Becoming routine motions
Until time is past
And the wheels grind to a stop
Give me
some life for
energized existence
Without making me tired
Or tired out
Give me some life for
Co existence
If only with a few
Close friends
Give me some life for
Eternity
And let these times be exciting
Poetry
