Story Clipping: Robot Head

America’s First Celebrity Robot is Staging a Comeback byEmma Jacobs, All Things Considered:

“I opened one box, and there was the head of a robot there. So we started prying with my dad as to what was in the other boxes,” Weeks says. “He showed us … and we managed to put the head on the torso and played with it as children,” wheeling it around in games of cowboys and cops and robbers.”

Urban Observation #1

From yesterday’s commute:

Across from me 

on the train,

a young man too washed out for his years. 

Buttoned in and buttoned up

black shoes, black laces pulled tight.

When I look up he is staring at me

with half-lidded eyes.

His ears plugged in.

So worn out. He does not know to look away.
