Bump: Super Short Story #505

She admired robot vacuum cleaners,
for their calm and clear focus,
how they simply,
when bumping into things,
without hesitation, disappointment or giving up,
finding alternative paths around them.

And the smarter ones
simply avoid the things the next time,
never making the same mistakes,
always learning from new ones.

However, while they clean floors well,
they cannot clean themselves.
This she noticed when she saw
the layers of dust on them.
Smart perhaps, but not smart enough.
