NEO-FRIEND
This is my new friend [ ]
She is @ cyborg.
She is pretty.
She is programmed to…
[Be my friend.]
Likes what I like
Hates what I hate,
Go where I go.
Be @ good mate.
This is my neo [n]- friend…
This is my new friend.
She looks like @ mannequin,
But that is okay.
She is installed with the
Latest computer software
Of ideal people friendliness.
She is sweet.
She is funny…
She will never leave me
Or hurt me,
Or act silly,
Or avoid me for no apparent reasoning.
She will never break my heart
Because she is not programmed to do so.
She may just shut down for a while
But that is okay…
It only takes 2 minutes to
Boot her back up.
This is my new friend.
She holds my hand
And smiles at me
A lot.
She has lovely eyes
That reflects all the colors of the neon lights
In downtown Crystalline City
At Sector 11.
My friends give me the
Thumbs up and honk their horns
When they see us walking
Down the street together.
All my friends like her. [ ]
My friend is so neat,
She looks great from the time
We wake up.
She never sweats
So she never has to bathe.
Like this morning,
She just got up brushed her
Synthetic hair,
Sprayed Galaxy 3 perfume
On her plastic skin.
Threw on her pink spandex
And purple see-through plastic dress and top,
Neon necklace,
Put on her new spiked-heeled glass shoes,
[That I bought for her the other day]
and we were off.
This is my neo-friend.
She is @ machine
But I like her []
What more can I ask for?
Manufacturer's Guarantee.
To always love,
And never forsake me.
Made to last
'Til 2073.
If she malfunctions before then
Well…
I may take my chances with @ human girl again…
Maybe.
Or stay on the safe side with another "Plastic Lady."
This is my neo-friend.
