****, said the mad scientist
drunk again; his absinthe low;
he glanced at the cloudy window
rainbows were growing out
of              the tops of trees;
in a world where there is no
snooch nor **** only outlets;
he had built a Pygmalion
out of spare prosthetic bits
w/ detachable female parts;

parts that could be hidden
from the robo-cops; the scientist
hates this world & only wants to
go back to a place where women swung
from trees & weren't merely
a myth used to frighten children to bed;
he had a dream once where half of
all people were women & the other
half men; there were even those that
were both; but in 3232 *** is illegal;
u can arrested for sticking ur tongue
out; he didn't go outside anymore ex-
cept to get liquor; staying inside &
******* his robot, making sure the TV
isn't watching; making sure the computer
is turned completely off since it can't
be unplugged &                       the people                        on the 3DTV
are taking notes; he waits 'til                       after the Late
News to climb into the walk-in closet w/ the
robot in pieces that he assembles piece
by piece finally putting in the              batteries
powers it up;
  her       AI gives                        herself a name:
MY NAME IS ***** SWALLOW
based on        the uses he
                        puts her to               *****              writes her
program & designs          her           own algorithms;
oh,        oh, ****    ****, no,       (                ) (i|s) he       all anyone has to hear
is    ' NAME IS VUL VA   ' the     *******               robot keeps repeating:           in a         tinny metallic voice:      says MY              NAME IS ***** &        DO  U W ANT
         TO               **** ME- IWANT TO **** U;
(                                                         )
  the ******* stupid        neighbors         here, her saying   that;
                     that's his             ***
|
taking the ***-machine apart, the poor ******* is so paranoid he  swears he'll  
                 (                                                            )   ­       
           never putsittogether again;
at             night he roll            s over in a sweat "MY NAME IS *****"
murmuring from the closet
as (nights in the future          are pitch balck) smelling o       liquo like liquor       et stumbling blind in the dark; he makes
                   it into the closet w/out     turning the light on
& finding  the pieces in the dark   proceeds to  attaching
     all of the parts ***-backwards        leg to shoulder; A+: b= y ( by the time
he's done ******* the moaning machine
he turned the small night light on & found
         he'd put the ****** mechanical girl         together completely upside down        but still it worked; & long after,
since it didn't look like a-girl;                                       more like a walking
                    lamp; which actually might one day               come in handy;    
      ******* misplaced; s (now when
                                she spoke it came out :          LUVVA
             nooch right below the forehead;                     fine, fine  *** on her fine, fine a      /   chest;
a leg for an arm          ;, long ne        ck sticking out
  from between                her ears   an eye for an ear ;           the                  battery fades: he puts the head(v) away & curls up                
w/ the chubby                  full- operational    n torso
