Here's another re-post from Tales From
The Apocolypse, things are hotting up, especially when Project X gets involved...see Prometheus Unwired and A Good Day in the Underworld. There are a few more poems (new one's I promise) coming soon for this collection, but I think you get jist by now...lol
My my my, if "Idle hands are the devil's workshop," I hate to think what's likely to happen when a thinking MACHINE "in digital bliss" gets bored.

Very eerie. Bored machines holding the universe. Not a good combination. Wonderful suspenseful poems you have here. can hardly wait for the next.

machine scares me. really, you are so excellent at this that I always have to psyche myself to read one of your poems, because I inevitably feel as if I'm watching some classic "Metropolis" type movie, sort of sophisticated horror, huh? if it was like an unloved child, God knows what it will do with all that memory and a little boredom. you've got me hooked now, Dawn

Nothing worst then a bored machine........feels like a horror begining! Great write.
Hmmm, becoming bored after attaining the knowledge of the universe... an unloved child in digital bliss... much to ponder here Paul. Love the way you set this one up.
Peace,

God help us when machines get bored...will they wreak havoc that mankind has put in them? Only time will tell...an interesting, thought provoking write, very well penned; BRAVO!
Awwwww!!! Makes me sooooo think of Marvin The Paranoid Android!! :)) Even metal needs a hug now and then! Especially my car, otherwise she gives me hell. Will the ultimate answer be 42? Hmmmmm, this is gettin spooky... machines with time on their hands and feeling unloved and bored... sounds like me. We can get naughty, you know.... perhaps that's the point. Duh??!! :)) Like this succinct format... whets the appetite, like others have said. Will just sit back and wait for the show, then... LOL Kate xx

Dear Paul, thank you for giving life to what most assume as inanimate! Well machines are ... but have been give 'life' by human computing minds! Thank you for making us think and inspiring interest ...

Since you made a reference to "Prometheus Unwired" I went to read it before I read this. I'm glad I did. Not just because Prometheus was excellent, but because now I know there's more to this poem. On the surface it seems clear; men program machine, then leave it alone on the shelf -- maybe declare it outdated; machine gets bored. Men abandon it thinking they and they alone can make it function, forgeting they also programmed it to think and given it knowledge to equal the universe machine is going to get even, right? :-) I love a good mystery!
