“The Robots are Coming” by Kyle Dargan

An excerpt from a poem that explores humanity’s relationship with machinery in this post-industrial age.
Tell the machines we honor their dead,
distant cousins. Tell them
we tendered those cities to repose
out of respect for welded steel’s
bygone era. —The Poetry Foundation
