Zywa Echo-room

I am living in a box
a little box in a box
yes, robots can live

in tiny houses
without needs
except for the sun

spare parts once in a while
and commands to get out
of the rut of repetition

I am closed, a black box
that you can read
as if I were made of glass

and, you'll see: I am
a little box that thinks
out of the box

of my body
an echo-room
of the net
