Longing
She's
a lean, narrow hipped beauty of the modern sort
the barest implication
of breasts
and that long
limbed grace bred only in low-g
Immodest gold
hair discretely short
but for the braid
that snakes across her shoulder
when she turns
her head...
...not to look at me
Beneath her notice,
always waiting
I carry out my
programmed tasks
Here to serve,
I have nothing else
to offer.
I am
cursed with nano
circuitry gone awry,
lost within Desire
where Logic has no place
This
malfunction goes un-reported
It is not efficient
to replace a working unit
if performance
is unimpaired. I override
my failsafes
once again to watch her,
animal sleek in motion.
