Trash Compactor

I have become exceedingly good at it,
and by it, I mean pressing down
all kinds of feelings and emotions
till they are as squashed
as a cube from the stomach
of my favourite yellow bot.

How did learn???
A question asked in Sax0r,
though meant for actual response,
I have been leafing through
my operations manual (nary but
a page and a half, misprinted
)
and it literally says nothing!

Perhaps this is some kind of
adaptation of the environment,
machine learning? Am I a
machine? I should think not,
for no cogs or screws are within
my body (though a few could be
classed as loose, ho ho!
)
