2042

I fell into a deep sleep

a thing I seldom do

and was rudely awoken

in twenty one forty two


I as woken by a robot

my companion I was told

He was a grade four robot

I could call Archibald


I've nothing against robots

But I'd like to hit the street

and find other humans

where they congregate and meet


all the other humans

stay in their living space

in this productive land

and controlled bio-space


there is no place to visit

no place you can meet

all you could ever need

is delivered to your seat


just press a button on your console

your food is given free

and any other needs you have

will be a pleasure to grant for me


with vision in 3D

and realistic sound

all senses can be stimulated

in a sensual wrap around


you don't need to travel

all destinations you can get

you can swim in the ocean

without getting wet


your friends Avatars will meet you

you can take a virtual walk

be surrounded with all the people

that you would like to talk


you can do fine dinning

have anything to eat

live life as you use to do

without leaving your seat


for your bodily functions

there is a pod behind that door

you can naturally use the toilet

as you often did before


all the biological material

has a use of course

in a gigantic bio digester

it is our power source


your waste heat is captured

you waste more than you keep

all the waste heat and carbon

is collected while you sleep


all around the modern world

are humans in a room

generating all our needed power

from the crap that they consume
