obsolete android
somewhere inside
my industrial strength
heart ; the clockwork
mechanics are starting
to slow ; gears grinding
into silence ; my silicon
skin new only 18 months
ago now seems archaic
next to your polymer
epidermis that senses
heat, pain, human
contact ; i don’t want
to reboot ; but i can’t
control my coding ;
i can feel my 1’s & 0’s
being overwritten
even as you turn
to pixels before
my artificial eyes
