Hideously deformed
Gnarled faces of aged Robots
Peer and blink into the
Blank air – unmated

Seven minutes
Twenty six seconds
Until your designated lunch break ends

I feel like an intruder
Mingling among you
Hoping to find your off switch
Unplug you
Power down

If I could reprogram you
Upload new subroutines
Delete your old task log
Leave your software open-ended
Make you a target
Within the mainframe
Run Spyware
Put your world into quarantine
Make you witness a reboot
Reformat
