Oh meaty, slimy thing
born of spores as fine as dust
reversing the rot
flesh to fungus
fungus to flesh

You smell terrible, dear
in carcass drag as flybait
becoming your prey
flora to offal
offal to flora

fortune telling robot, originally uploaded by Paul Keller.

Flickr’s “blog this” feature makes it way too easy to do stuff like this. There are over nine million images available under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license. a quick search for “robots” yields over six thousand results. The fourth from the top is this.

Paul Keller’s original caption reads thusly:

“Fortune telling robot on the sidewalk opposite Russel market in Bangalore. Passers-by can have their fortune told by the robot in four different languages: Tamil, Hindi, Maharati & Kannada.”

Nine million free images to play with? Oooh, I’m gonna have too much fun with this. [rubs hands and cackles]
