To Human

" Over one hundred thousand humanoid robots will be deployed 
in the real world." - "5 AI Predictions For The Year 2030," Forbes,

They are in warehouses, moving crates 
and boxes; or in assembly lines, flipping 

cars over with one arm then welding, painting, 
sealing. In Japan, there's a robot whose out-

stretched arms help lift residents in a care home 
out of bed and into their walkers. Little round

round vacuum cleaners spin all over the floors
of houses, only occasionally bumping into

corners or falling down the stairs. At a marina
country club in Singapore, robot waiters bring 

chicken rice or chilli crab to your table. They're here 
now, but nothing ever completely surrenders. 

Our hearts still ache when we look into the vastness 
of space or hear water lapping against the shore at night.
