Poison In the Passion
Nightshade seduction
arouse androidal desires
to taste the dangerous pleasure pill
that only humans are allowed to feel
Love poisons the non-emotional circuitry;
flip the kill switch ... flood the doppelganger dead wife body
with corrupting, electrical ecstasy
Suicidal sirens are vibrational moaning ...
trailing off in the aural distance
Is it sultry bedchamber music that you hear,
or the sound of your laboratory heart stopping
Your mind has been poisoned by temptation
From the neck up, you’re paralyzed,
from the belly down,
your alternate mind is so
neural sensitive alive
Slow-acting,
an arrested fatal development
Fast merging,
metabolically bound by the passion
As long as the night flames climb,
kryptonite won’t bring down Superwoman
But as sure as the sun will rise,
the silicon fire of exotic desire will smouldering die
And the lowering temperature heat
from a sleep mode double body embrace,
will let the nano-poison be released
Flowing free into a cloned heart
that would never see the morning
There was poison in the passion
in the year 2128 ...
Inter-organic relations are taboo,
a human could die
for tasting the strange passion fruit too
Cloned and true-womb born don’t integrate,
it is a gen-tech crime to even date
In the year 2128,
the poison in the passion
administered a dual termination fate
This poem was inspired by the collaboration work
of Ivory Jones and James Swartz, from their
beautiful poem, "Template to Save the Soul."
I thank this talented poetess and poet from
the inky depths of my poor muse soul.
