Contemplations From A Black Star Citizen.
Congrats — you’ve been handed a robot whose sole job is to relieve you of one chore, job, or responsibility you particularly hate. What is it?
If the prototype name didn’t already give it away, the only thing I need this robot to do for me is wash the dishes. I have so much experience in the field It would be nice to have someone else share the, um, privilege. 😀

A gem,
From all possible angles
A situation,
That looks favorable,
And at the very least,
Trying to pick it up
Will leave me
With something Memorable.
Well,
That’s what I thought
Of the gemstone,
Until I realized
The hard layer of Chromium
Was a mere replacement
Of  its heart.
Four years ago
I learned a valuable lesson,
When the green
In the gem
Turned out to be
A reflection
Of my own
Naivety.
