Aged around 15 I looked the window and saw a man and van across the road
\nI heard a voice that possessed me to go outside
\nSo I went outside and saw a large, slobbering, golden retriever in the passenger seat
\nI asked the man if I could look at the dog, He said \u2018Yes, go ahead\u2019
\nI had never seen the like of such, a robot dog that looked real
\nI saw it\u2019s saliva dripping off it\u2019s teeth, stained partly yellow with a slight decay
\nEach hair was individually realised in their own way, part of something greater
\nIt\u2019s eyes looked alive with a lifetime of experiences shining through them
\nI think the man must have been a genius, possibly the cleverest person alive
\nSuch was the attention to detail in every aspect of the dog
\nIt was uncanny, how this dog could be robot, I certainly realised that day, the power of technology
\nMy mind blown, I returned home, and thought about if that robot dog exists, what other incredible things exist<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
A man and a van \u2019cross the road I did see,
\nA voice in my mind said, \u2018Go out, you are free!\u2019
\nI stepped out to spy what the world had in store,
\nA slobbering dog sat, immense, at the door.
\nIt\u2019s fur was so golden, it\u2019s teeth stained with age,
\nThe slobber fell off, like a scene from a stage.
\nI asked, \u2018May I see it?\u2019 The man gave a nod,
\nAnd what I beheld was no work of a god.
\nEach hair seemed so real, every strand had its place,
\nIt\u2019s eyes told of lifetimes; a deep, living grace.
\nBut this was no beast, though alive it did seem,
\nA robot! The like only built in a dream.
\nThe man, surely genius, the cleverest one,
\nHad crafted a dog that shone bright as the sun.
\nI turned back in awe, mind abuzz with the thought:
\nIf such things can live, what else might be wrought?<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Grey skies above,
\nmy mind ablaze.
\nHead buzz; Dog pants.<\/p>\n
Conspiracy,
\nknow it\u2019s all fake.
\nIntense current,
\nelectric brain,
\nsimulated,
\nreality.<\/p>\n
Golden fur pet,
\nLooks real; too real.
\nCertified bot,
\nowner savant,
\nRobotics god.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t exist.
\nRepetitive
\nthoughts wear me down.
\nBaby, I\u2019m a
\nmonstrosity.<\/p>\n
\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
The dog exhibits traits consistent with early-onset psychosis or a related mental health condition involving delusions and sensory distortions. The vivid certainty of the robotic 15 year old\u2019s belief and subsequent existential ruminations suggest a break from reality triggered by internal stimuli.<\/p>\n
The episode aligns with delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, or possibly early schizophrenia, though further diagnostic evaluation is required. The perceived heightened detail in ordinary objects (e.g. the robot boy\u2019s saliva) could indicate derealisation or hyperreality distortion, common in such disorders.<\/p>\n
The dog describes a profound inability to differentiate between delusion and reality during the episode. Post-episode distress includes persistent existential fears and self-derogatory thoughts, leading to emotional exhaustion. These symptoms suggest significant impairment in daily functioning and a likelihood of recurrent episodes.<\/p>\n

The Robot Dog\u2019s lesson:<\/p>\n
Lie on the floor and let it devour you
\nCompletely animal; you are in space
\nA paw on your shoulder
\nA claw to open old wounds<\/p>\n
Time stops when you speak to me
\nA cup of tea turns to pure nectar
\nLiquid purity, the elixir of life,
\nThe perfect time to melt your insides<\/p>\n
Let yourself rot and you shall become wise
\nYou don\u2019t learn: \u2018Yeah, that\u2019s the point\u2019
\nWatch this. \u2018No, don\u2019t tell me what to do\u2019
\nLet your saliva be the best thing someone tastes<\/p>\n
I retrieve dada poems and anarchy
\nTear it all down, leave none in your path
\nA lonesome emancipation
\nGive me my mind\u2019s liberation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
