After the Apocalypse, a Re-Activated Domestic Droid Finds a New Purpose

 
I wasn’t programmed for this, but here I am,
digging for spare parts, finding coils of wire,
a salvageable panel or two. There isn’t much
else to do, and besides, it was easy enough
to reprogram myself, repurpose a mother board,
clone circuitry, access what remains
of the cloud 's memory for data on bio-engineered
DNA and while I really wasn't programmed
to be a mother, I find the urge to be cycling
exponentially. . .

I think I'll name this one, Steve.
