Also the poem is a real reference, and quite literally a found poem. (Found with some illuminated manuscripts )Written by a monk presumably about his cat, it may well have been a caligraphy practice piece - http://www.irishcultureandcustoms.com/Poetry/PangurBan.html One of my favourite robot images of all time are the stone robots in Laputa, very pleased to have made you think of them.

Though a comparison to Wall-E is difficult to avoid, this reminds me more of the quiet poetry of the stone idols in Miyazaki's "Laputa". The poem, itself, sits odd but fits perfectly... I'm curious to know whether it was a found object or brand new, because it feels authentically pitched between modern and folky - feels like Scott Morse's "Soulwind", and that's a good thing!
