Evolution

If I were late infected by a mutant strain of me

Would “new me” want to put me back to normalcy

 

Would me be any me that I would recognize

Would “recognize” have anything to do with it, at all

 

The new me might be stronger, better – is that really me?

Would anybody know me anymore?

 

If no-one else accepted me as me, who would I be?

Would I retreat to live amongst the robots

 

Would I withdraw, to hide amongst the ones who cannot judge me

Five robot-fingers wave to me; they always wave to me, so I wave back

 

If I were late infected by a mutant strain of me

Would “new me” want to put me back to normalcy?
