PM Automatic 3

This trail leads to the animal crossing

It fails to accommodate intrepid adventurers,

Bushy tailed explorers, mountain climbers,

Talkers to squirrels and chewers of pine pitch.

The divine medicine denies us the headspace to believe we're really dead,

The reclined estrogen felt good against twenty million years of insecurity

Golden-layered, factually flawed

It lay exposed for decades

Rusting innards and misfiring sparks

None of the heavy equipment does what it says

Robot arms move with intensity

No programmer yet programs tenderness

The limiting factor has always attracted the acting crowd

Always desperate for theatrical work they magically appear

When it's clear that they're needed

But heed the warnings, they're known to be cheaters; the people who say so could also be wife-beaters

No need to wait for a stereotype

Follow the one you haven't lost touch with

Well I actually wrote it at 1:21 AM but I was in bed about to sleep so it is more appropriately grouped with the other PM poems than the AM ones... Maybe I should come up with another way to designate them, since I'm so often writing after midnight.
