Alpha-582 Loves Zl-236, Episode Ii

EPISODE II CYBER METAMORPHOSIS Alpha-582 Loves ZL-236 I extend my hand to her My hydraulics closing delicately Both aware of our cold steel And the heat of our humanity In the softness of her eyes I see the reflection of my face Like the longing to connect Through the vast coldness of space I give her my sacred code To bypass my encryption My beating heart begins to race As metal fades from my perception We escape into a garden Too green to hint of sin And we find a hidden reality As our virtual starts to spin And we marvel at the ache Of our vulnerability We have a sudden revelation Of our current atrophy The vision of our ancestors We have forged to perfection We would rather be a machine Than judged an imperfection But as we spin together Her eyes give me permission To access her domain And to start a new religion I conduct past her circuits To the soft tissue of her Then something new in my abdomen As darkness begins to purge Mental explosions of light Followed by the coldest sensations Aware again of moving parts Now also of unhealthy expectations It hits me like a ton That I feel every cruelty And that's when I became aware That I am not a machine END OF EPISODE II
