its sentience a work
prefabricated
in parts—
before it arrives
at a different
warehouse
consider
the marks
of certification it bears
and the circuitry used
to test its reflexes.
Recall a part
for further scrutiny
using the current
vocabulary of
standards. Turn it
and around
in a room then
assign it to work
anyway— its cost
cheaper almost
by half. Pigeon
or dove? Authenticate
me. How do I pass?
