At the extreme fringe of the universe
Aloft on a desolate, detached asteroid
A solitary, derelict Automaton stands
Long forsaken by its ancient, dead creators
Its free energy device repetitively churns out
unlimited power, enabling the operation
Of a superficial, sedate consciousness.
It peers up….uncomprehending, at the approaching void
The rocky asteroid, saturated by silence, couched in inestimable space
Engages in lazy, perpetual somersault
As unpredictable, intense showers of dark energy
periodically impact the frigid ground
Stirring up brittle, crystallized mineral debris
To these stinging assaults the machine is impervious
Its reinforced alloys make it a monolith
The Robot obstinately commits to its last command
To calculate the largest prime number
Interior mechanisms wheel with incredible speed
Yet prime numbers occur with increasing irregularity
The Android contemplates infinity as a goal
It persists, continuing to proceed nowhere rapidly
Alien life forms ignore the secluded Robot’s plight
Refusing a mission to rescue and reprogram,
while God alone maintains the numerical tabulation–
bizarre mathematical symbols appear like foam and then vanish.
The Android’s monumental waste of energy and existence lasts
until ultra slow erosion causes it finally to cease to function.
The only sliver of understanding is God’s alone.
