Auto-Choris

He gave his best
He could not see the rest.
Everything he did
He bore the highest bid.
Every tutor who walked in
Was thouroughly impressed.
Autochoris refused to partake
in the ruckus and the din.

As he sat his test:
He said all the right things
He wrote what he must
For everything he was just.
As he did all of this
Another of him watched.
As he hovered above
The playing scene glitched.

Auto went about all the chores
Choris watched from ashore.
Auto was busy with his books
Choris through the window looked.
Auto was ahead of the herd
Choris stood out like a bird.
Auto was loved and praised
Choris was refused to be raised.
Auto blossomed and grew
Choris slowly withdrew.

With Choris gone
Auto was lost.
The splendour and laughter
Was now a draught.

With Choris gone
Auto was reserved.
Still ahead of the herd
He moved undeterred.

A day came
when Auto could not go
without Choris in the tow.

Auto stopped moving on
and searched for Choris
who had long been gone.
