Mechanically Authentic

These drops, telling me something,
Giving orders, the kind I’ll actually
Follow. Can’t translate, so I’ll
Take my guess best.
Coffee, waking with–
Keeping Self in slate, maybe
I won’t need a cup, or usual
2. Joke, jester, me pester.
King not laughing, prince asleep–
Queen absent. Elephant holding up
our Room. Nursery sentence.. Planted
Only a minute ago.
Panicking hardly.. That’s the roast level,
Telling someone to orate a called-for rate.
