A simple machine, programmed for tasks; We assume human shape, but it could be flat. Autonomous in nature, at least that’s the goal, programmed to help with many a task. My favorite is Rosie, though Bender comes next, both from cartoons, where they’re best.

A stitch, a cone, or indecision You might find me in your kitchen

Invisible dance on shelves so high, a whisper of time, in the blink of an eye.

A cool home for midnight snacks, humming softly in the kitchen, keeping your leftovers fresh and your drinks chilled.

At most stores, I am bought within. Swap first for ‘v’, buy me after a spin. On use I dampen, due to swiping your skin. A bounty of paper. Whipper snapper. Rag’s kin.
