Tesla humanoid robots
work done for us
for universal wages
ushers in a new age
gentlemen spend time
creating art and poems
Dojo, DeepMind,
Palantir and ChatGPT
Mankind’s next step
bacteria
feeding on plastic
Dyson sphere
captures Sol’s energy
Earth-man
controls all the weather
ships
slingshot to stars
from a moon base
asteroid mining
unlimited resources
Earth as an Ark
all species can now thrive

Brian LeBansky teaches high school science and enjoys playing music and writing songs. He has written fan fiction for his YouTube channel and wrote some poetry while in college, but lately haiku and scifaiku have been keeping him busy and entertained. While a doctoral student at Texas A&M University, Brian separated a protein (purple acid phosphatase) from the other 42 million proteins in the cell, chemically characterized it, and published the results [click the author link for the science journal in which the paper was published]. Brian’s work has appeared in The Starlight SciFaiku Review, The Flying Saucer Poetry Review, The Space Cadet Science Fiction Review, and The Lotus Tree Literary Review.
