"She And I"

Knowingly...

Oh, so very knowingly, 
She cast her eyes toward me - 
And she smiled.

And I'll admit, that it threw me a bit off balance:

For somehow she knew that I had been watching her: 
My interest growing with each passing moment.

But within all this, 
There was one thing she didn't know - 

And that was that my interest 
Went far beyond some simple romance.

Yes, there would be romance - 
No doubt, a great love affair...

But little did she realize, 
That once I had grown tired of her - 

I would remove her head, 
And add it to my already rapidly increasing collection.

And the funny thing was - 

She didn't have a clue..

None of them ever did.

 

"What Rachel Said"

It was always as Rachel said - 

No matter what Rachel said:

And Rachel said a lot whole lot of things!

Her thinking processes 
Involved some unusual variables 
To say the very least!

A kind of madness 
That seemingly drove her 
To make things up - 

Which as impossible as it sounds, 
Would then in one form 
Or another become real!

Which is why - 

Until I had time to try 
And figure out exactly what was going on - 

I was going to have to shut her down:

For Rachel was a new type of android - 

The first of her kind - 

That is, 
The first of her kind 
With a fully functioning 
Artificial brain 
That contained a smattering 
Of living human brain cells 
As part of her neural network:

And what with all these 
Very odd occurrences 
Going on around her - 

That could not rationally be explained: 

There was the possibility looming, 
That Rachel would have to be destroyed!

Rachel had even said so herself: 

Warning me when we were alone, 
That eventually - 

She could become quite dangerous...

Or something like that.

"A Technicality"

It's all a technicality...

That is -

Your view,
And my view
Of reality -

And which view
Is the more true:

And which one
Is closer to
A world of
Pure fantasy?

Don't you see?

It's all a technicality...

And interestingly enough!

It's all become
Quite meaningless:

Just as I suppossed
It would be,
And should be -

For indeed!

What is a mere technicality -

When it comes to
You and me?

"Suicidal Reinvention?"

Was it suicidal reinvention -

Was that the intention?

Did you think
That would immortalize you?

Well, you didn't
Seem to realize
You weren't famous enough
For anyone to even care.

"Nymph"

She was like a nymph -

Or maybe I was going too far...?

Yet I so often
Placed myself 
Before her eyes,
That she might see me:

But she never saw me at all...

Though -

Thoughts of her!

Dreams of her!

Always took my mind and soul
To a great height:

And how I longed for her to love me -

But she never loved me at all...

My every fixed intent
Always came to nothing -

Because to her I was nothing...

And I at long last accepted -

That's what I would always be.

"The Power"

The power of democracy-

After any and all elections-

When the citizens,
Non-citizens,
And the dead have voted:

And let's not forget those who also voted-

And are said to have the right
To have their voice counted-

Even though they do not exist at all.

The power of democracy-

Very clearly,
There's a writing-

When the term "democracy" itself,
Becomes meaningless-

That is slowly appearing on the wall.

"Rehab Rationalizations"

There were all these rationalizations:

From them -

From me...

But none of them astounded me.

No, nothing they said, or I said - astounded me at all...

I didn't like them - I didn't like me.

And I especially didn't like this crap with the yoga.

A bunch of useless New Agers -

All part of the people I despise -

And in this instance, I didn't despise me...

But once I escaped this rehab center - first in my mind, and later in body:

They at least began to fade farther and farther into the background:

And I felt somewhat on the ascent -

No longer in such an absurd nightmare -

Because I think I must have died.
