On the first day it started to rain

Children were laughing and went out to play

But soon all the streets were rivers and streams

Creatures were trickling in front the deep

Cars floating like ships over skyscraper tips

The tallest of trees swaying like seaweed

Aluminum and paperclips

Refrigerator parts and microchips

A rudimentary robot boy

A heart of rubber bands and plastic toys

Just before dusk afraid he might rust

He climbed abroad an upside down bus

With bottle cap eyes he soon realized

That nobody else but he has survived

Sifting through debris of kindred machines

Drifting through a graveyard of sunken cities

For thirty nights with no land in sight

He never was hungry nor lonesome or tired

His mechanical brain could not go insane

His metallic skin could never feel pain

The whales gathered round with sibilant sound

They told him about the only way out

If you want to survive if you want to survive

Then you've got to find someone of your kind

As they pulled him away across the waves

He saw a pretty face

Made of tin cans and lace

Aluminum and balloon lips

Refrigerator parts and cardboard hips

A rudimentary robot girl

A heart of rubber bands

And plastic pearls
