Future Cities
[themed scifaiku]
future cities
sparkle bright
glaciers still do, too
future cities
vacuum bots
dodge taxis
future cities
social wellness
bot patrols
future cities
nanotechnology
prevents slip and fall
future cities
bots carry groceries
up flights of stairs
future cities
bots cross streets with the very
old and infirm
future cities
coffee on the patio, hold the
noise and pollution
future cities
police bots programmed for
sensitivity
future cities
crime is forgotten
doors left unlocked

future cities
landing spots for foo fighters
not like the old days

Katerina Bruno’s work can be read in various publications. One of her scifaiku from the debut issue of The Starlight SciFaiku Review was selected for the 2022 SFPA Dwarf Stars Award anthology. A library that is open only at night, serves coffee and has a glass roof for viewing the stars, would be her paradise.
