Synthetic

have you ever felt, synthetic?

Through plastic lips I speak,

and she listens

Through plastic lips I smile,

and she smiles back

 

She likes to caress my synthetic hair

with my synthetic fibers and synthetic pores

and we've spent so many mornings doing just that

She whispers in my mock ears

and I pretend to listen

and I nod

and she smiles back

 

She likes to hold my right hand

as my left holds the mask in place

her hand is soft

and genuine

so I hold her hand too

and she smiles back

 

She likes to give me something to look at

she takes off the outfit of the day

I watch her undress before me
Naked,
she gets in bed and lies next to me

wearing only her smile

and,
Through plastic lips,

I smile back

Author's Note

I grew numb of the pain.
She gave me everything
a little too late

more like a.. robot?
but you got it!

[Irma Chavez]

well your robot sounds very responsive and observant, yet cold... like a monster. Or is he a B.O.B.? (battery operated boyfriend)
