The Remaining Robot

The remaining robot continues to walk
but eventually also gives up.

He falls to his knees and tries
to reach the buttons
on his own back,
but to no avail.

Instead, he removes his helmet
and reveals a printed circuit board face.
He repeatedly slams the helmet onto the ground
until it is shattered.

Using one of the shards
as a burning-glass,
he focuses the sunlight
to set his hand ablaze.

The film ends
showing the robot,
completely on fire,
walking in slow motion
through darkness.

In the Vegetable Orchestra

Then, let’s introduce
the vegetable musical instruments
that can have been done this time.

It is a carrot ocarina first. And,
it is an ocarina of a white radish
in Japan that can have done this time.

The broccoli ocarina was made.
A good sound was not heard because
only such a broccoli was obtained this time.

And, a carrot ocarina of the slide type.
When the breath is put here,
something is heard. It shaped … so …

The paprika was punctured.
When the breath is put here,
such a sound is heard. It is an owl.

Similarly asparagus panpipe was made.
However, a good sound is not heard.
It is a trumpet of the cucumber

and the paprika in the end. There were
musical instruments that looked
alike also in the vegetable orchestra.
