Robot parts lay strewn across the floor
My limbs taste of penny dust and
The way copper catches in the sun
I could trick you into thinking it’s beautiful
They stare wherever I go
At the half girl, half something else
With missing parts, a body riddled with holes
But fear not,
My crooked tooth smile and crinkle-cut eyes
Will assuage your uneasiness
Your inkling that I am something
Not quite human
My milkmaid bones creak and rattle
They strain under the weight of the sky
Isn’t it funny?
The machine felt sorry for Atlas.
