Poetry: Pretending

by Lyn Adaway

Created on: December 27, 2008   Last Updated: April 10, 2011

Electronic Mongrel

.

This secret I avoided

Didn’t share with you

I’m really half android

Please hear me through

.

Serum type forty-seven

Dedicated model 422

Have an integrated system

To understand all points of view

.

With modified circuits

To endure most pain

And just enough wits

To seem humanly sane

.

They broke the time lever

Don’t know my age

Been alive forever

Trapped on a timeless stage

.

My mother board is rated

By a satellite in the sky

And automatically updated

As the eons go by

.

If my steps falter

And my gait sways

With thoughts altered

Don’t be dismayed

.

If my words get stuck

You’ll surely know why

Because they pulled my plug

From the satellite in the sky

.
