Jenny Julind’s most recent poem to appear here was “The definition of summer” (August 2019).
I am not a robot
By Jenny Julind
I am not a robot
What utter nonsense
To be forced to
Declare this truth
By a robot
Wake up to
This world
We are in
And then start
To live
And some of the “I am Not a Robot” images are so dark, you can’t see whether or not the intended object is or is not in the photo. But I love how this poem captures the irony of the not-robot being queried about being a robot by a robot. We should develop a new form of drama based on this: Noh-Bot
