Awaiting the verdict.


It’s a good feeling. Waking. Knowing that I have no particular thing. That I have to do. A wonderful. Option. Doing nothing. If I so choose. Of course, I’ll find something. Like what I’m doing now.  Rambling. Musing. Doing whatever comes naturally. But I’m not even obligated to do that. I can be unnatural, too. Invariably, unnatural becomes natural. That’s a funny thing. About life. Ultimately I have leeway. Freedom of choice. Or so I think today. But by tomorrow. I may change my mind. And decide that I’m a robot.  Being programmed. By intelligent life. From another remote galaxy. That we’re all robots. Put on Earth. To be observed. In a zoo, of sorts. To see. If we thrive. Or destroy ourselves. I presume. That the verdict is still out. --Jim Broede
