step right in
where commodity and fiction
are deliberately blurred,
electrostatic dust collector,
after-shower body air-driers,
a spatially disconnected
from the world roll-on wife
complete with a dining table
that sinks into the floor;
don't tell her she's an android;
just don't.
she is captured
and ever ready,
she was a stenographer
but quite unsteady,
her mouth a spark of vowels
when her far off places
are aroused.
repeat this soothing motto — space, place, memory.
outside is scenographic sensation:
lightology. unbreathed air. porcelain skin.
she's the soft electric assurance
of a better life — the life which rests on device alone — a strong, sweet poison which infects the blood.
she is "the light of any home"...
