Emotional Upgrading.
By,
Rose Downing

I don't have a mute function on my heart.
I have a live and let live sequence, I have a forgive and forget algorithm, my emotions come in five point surround sound with wide screen imagination, but no mute function.
It just runs on automatic, no way to take control even if you wanted to.
What then should I do when my mind and my heart stop being compatible?
You see, I've got this new program in my heart. She augments with every beet, but she makes my logic go blue screen, and just as soon as I reboot my judgment, there she is, overloading my systems.
Now, it's not just that she makes me want to boot up the hard drive, OH NO! IT'S FAR WORSE THAN THAT! She is like AOL! Just when I think I've got her out of my system, she still has my home page. And as soon as I redirect my home page I get a pop up asking if I'd like to registered my love for her.
I'd call tech support, but really, when has that ever done any good?
Each morning, she has my start up screen, and at night, she is my shut down noise. I run simulation after simulation where I plug my connector into her port, uploading and downloading, until we both crass our operations into a lump of cuddling and cigarettes. I have tuns upon tuns of mock ups of us holding hands, talking laughing, just being together.
I can't delete heartware. It just doesn't work that way.
I try to drink enough booze to delete some brain ware, but we all know what alcohol can do to your emotional processors.
All I can do now is wait for this program to become outdated.
Wait, or kiss her square on the lips.
Either way,
I'm totally fucked.
