Evolution in a Zoo
A sharp cry broke out from a nearby cell, destroying the balmy hush of the lazy summer day. Its eyelids, the eyelids of an Anaconda, jolted open, revealing a false sense of alarm, alert for a non-existent enemy. No, that was one of the few true benefits in the keep. Protection from harm. The inmates were kept alive as long as possible, whether or not they wanted it.
The cry continued, it seemed far more distant this time. Everyone was sure of that. As usual, there was nothing to be afraid of. Sleep tempted all of the prisoners, but something prevented that.
Tap, tap, tap.
It was methodical. Dull. Boring. Maddening. Behind the tapping
Rhythmic beating turns into the bleating digital noise of the alarm clock. Back to consciousness. His eyes open wide. It was an unsteady night, far beyond midnight he fell asleep. The noise continues, but hes uninterested in stopping it. It proceeds. Finally he is fully awake. His hand moves over and silences the machine.

Are we a place,
where there is no need,
for thought or use,
machines to breed?
Are we a place,
