cut7 Relaxing in the colony
Eve came here as though fleeing from loneliness.
What existed here were only maintenance robots,
the grasses and trees of an artificial nature,
a reservoir lake,
and carefully regulated light.
And Eve felt perfectly happy with only these.
For a pure soul, newly awakened,
they were enough.
The footsteps of the maintenance robots were distant,
and rather, they seemed only to trace
the quietness of this place.
The plants and trees, though lives made by design,
still held a true sense of peace.
In several places throughout this colony
there were engravings bearing the name eve.npaso,
but Eve paid them little mind.
In the closet here were clothes in Eve’s size,
and somehow, from the very beginning,
they felt familiar against her body.
Today, she chose something comfortable from among them,
placed a reclining chair where the view was beautiful,
and passed the time in ease.
Now and then, thoughts of her fellow androids
would drift across her mind,
yet she would soon return
to a state as though nothing had happened,
as if it were all already over.
