You’re looking straight at me now
With sudden complete comprehension
Of what I’m doing
The days are gone
When I could point over your shoulder and do
As I pleased
I am the kind of person who develops
A self-propelling panopticon and
Installs it
In their home
Shows it off to others and
Inserts them in its gaze
The key design feature is the limited battery
Malfunctions horribly in the thirteenth hour
Reliably shuts down for four hours a day
This is a relatively minor reprieve
On reboot, it scans the environment and
Infers solidly from limited data
I’m taking a photo of you
And you’re winking back
