robot girl

kisses her face to the air -
air kiss, air kiss,
eyes closed, countenance glazed
with a rapture mask.

She folds doom in her hands
sucking on the sweet edge of tears;
listens to Radiohead pour
and break their guitar notes.
Her response is electronic,
her howl is supersonic.

Metal spurs in her brain
cogitate cyber psychology;
pure super ego wrapped around
a vaccum of positrons.
Why does she have to have
the melancholy chip
in a world that loves smiley surfaces?
She has no smooth flesh,
only the iron bolts of a grimace.
