I am a robot.
My little brain is filled with silly nonsense
You can ask me anything
I will know the Answer.
I have the Answers.
In the traffic to Seattle
you asked me about 16th century lute music,
and I felt ashamed when I knew its history
I had to explain myself and my knowledge
(Juilliard)
And you show me off to your friends!
I read wikipedias every day so that I won't disappoint,
I never want you to be ashamed of me.
when I can't quench your thirst for useless knowledge;
there's a fear in your eyes when I say:
I don't know
so I'll study and pray that the words
will never cross my lips again
And I read encyclopedias till my
brain leaks out my eyes
and gray matter will splash your converse
and that will be the end of Us.
