Astro-Zombies Do Not Ask Questions

They are mechanical men in orbit around the sun

with plastic skin and synthetic lungs,

their cellular decomposition reversed pharmaceutically,

their rapid hair loss inhibited by

long term exposure to invisible rays,

Mechanical men, unaffected by preening pop divas
or the harsh wind of violent solar flares,
piloting their silver craft across the silence of space,
readied for action by abacus men
using government issued slide rules.

Astro-Zombies do not ask questions.
Astro-Zombies do not die.
