Fragmentation
The robots break dance
to commemorate human
extinction. Supplant
human language with
AI generated words.
New history of
new birthing process.
Hearse parked outside Adult Mart.
Robots making out
with loitering dead
human corpse heads until they
break down into past
severed ties. I can’t
read your robot mind and you
replaced mine. Bugbot
tools for eyes. Insects
crawling out of my mouth. Words
no longer my own.
Juliet Cook doesn’t fit inside an Easy-Bake Oven and rarely cooks. Her poetry has appeared in a peculiar multitude of literary publications. She is the author of numerous poetry chapbooks, most recently including “red flames burning out” (Grey Book Press, 2023), “Contorted Doom Conveyor” (Gutter Snob Books, 2023), “Your Mouth is Moving Backwards” (Ethel Zine & Micro Press, 2023), “REVOLTING” (Cul-de-sac of Blood, 2024), and “Blue Stingers Instead of Wings” (Pure Sleeze Press, 2025). Her most recent full-length poetry book, “Malformed Confetti” was published by Crisis Chronicles Press. You can find out more at https://julietcook.weebly.
