Still Keeping It Real

KEEPING IT REAL, part 1 (Still Keeping it Real is below)

Rent one to own
Feel like a conquering hero
The most life-like robotic woman
The "Caesar-Says-5-point-zero"
With all the right curves
To make your mouth water
Graduate from the virtual
Don't live in a monitor

You are so smart, David
And also you're so handsome
I can dance like Britney Spears
Or quote books by the volume
Do you want to make love?
Or perhaps just get nasty?
I won't ask any questions
If you want to get a little crazy

But my eyes glaze over
This wasn't such a deal
I return it to the factory
Because I need to keep it real
So I get into perfect shape
Cock my head with a robotic trace
Then infiltrate 'real women'
With a non-synthetic face


STILL KEEPING IT REAL, part 2

I purchase a romance novel
Committing lines to memory
And struggle to keep a straight face
From the absolute hilarity
But practice makes perfect
And I use my silver tongue
I love you so much baby
And I want us to make love

Then I think of my muse
Who I truly love so dear
I con my way into their pants
Words sounding so sincere
But it doesn't take long
Before the mirror I despise
I reveal myself to one victim
As I say the word "Surprise!"

I observe the disintegration
Between women and men
Streets full of cyber couples
They can turn off on a whim
I gaze up toward the stars
Have they experienced this atrophy?
Perhaps the saying, "Know Thyself"
Is the only way to complete me

AH! Below means like right underneath so it wasn't necessary for me to go back to your main page.. lol, live 'n learn. Anyhow, dig 'em both and the know thyself thing is a fully full timer i do believe.. AND.. i remain convinced that the only and best thing we can ever be for another is a mirror. Write on, DfB, namaste~N
