SAME AGAIN
android
slipped into
my consciousness
tweaked, adjusted,
threw a few switches,
pressed some buttons
messed around
got visceral somewhere
down in the deep unconscious
down and dirty with
all my childhood fears
all those demons and
monsters
had huge robot fun
as it
meddled in my makeup
with every old
bad memory
fiddled around
learning so much (what curve
could be steeper) by
trial
and error in the process
that neither of us
were anything like we
had been at the outset
like the poet said
utterly transformed
