Deconstruction Ex Machina

...an erasure poem of a writing prompt by Marty McConnell

As always, this writing prompt is intended to be
a jumping off-point, so go where the impulse
takes you. Consider something inanimate,
from memory. Write down four characteristics
of a sentence that begins "Whoever made you..."
that includes a sentence that starts with "Why...?"
What does a specific part of this object reflect
or not reflect? Name this object of that name.
How does the Maker write a sentence
in which the object speaks to the Maker?
Where does the Maker go? Write a sentence
in which the Maker
is no longer

here.
