Sometimes I think about those weird dolls
that ate plastic fries
like they wanted to be real babies
and would choke on fingers of children,
into the cold machinery of their heads
I would see the videos of Stephen Hawking          
through his artificial voice
Saying, He wasn't talking about dolls
But I think normalizing these things
where we think, 
and, Yeah, they can be attached
to help the disabled function, 
and well obviously the military
we don't want them fighting

When lifelike skin was developed 
and robotic bees were invented

there have been various points
whether we admitted it or not
I think we probably should have
when the dolls started eating plastic fries 
and sucking children's hair 

that came out in the 90's 
and vegetable sticks
but couldn't manage it
would suck a child's hair
leading to injuries that ended up on the news     
warning about artificial intelligence
And you may laugh,
with moving mouths,
is where the seed begins to sprout
sure, robots can pretend to eat, that's fine
to paralyzed body parts
it's only right
should be able to benefit from new technology,
with bows and arrows.

for sex dolls
to replace the ones we killed

where we felt a pinch of nausea
(and we probably didn't).
said something
and vegetable sticks
into the cold machinery of their heads.
