I like the short lines and the swiftness of the poem. The repeating lines and alliteration worked well throughout.Β 

Favorite lines:Β

Reflection
of the
machine.

I was once a machine operator for a factory, so when I read the poem I thought about the machines in an industry, how life has changed since the industrial revolution many years ago. I also saw the machine in the poem as a metaphor for our mundane existence at times, how if feels like we are mere robots to the daily grind of life. I could also see how our mind acts as a machine, we receive input (data), then we have to decide how to react to that new data.Β 

Good poem, made me think!Β
