as a lock i am content. smooth metallic surface skin (perfect shiny smooth so i smile) mechanics behind eyes mouths hands ankles special functions each. i feel content with my place, i feel satisfied with my perceptions, i am fulfilling my daily roles, my existence is justified, i feel physically full – not from the stomach but from the guts, not with food but with blood like a rush-reaction heating up, flushing red like my lips after what we did on my bed on saturday (always slightly on edge with our programmed satellite ears extended out in case some innocent wandered in) everything in its right place my plodding daily satisfaction (to satisfy mysthesystemelf) no happy hours but happy days, healthy children, healthy lifestyle feeling pure and therefore proper and therefore all is well. i repeat. all is well. i woke up today turned on the coffee giant poured a cup, drank the tar pleasantly surprised by a peck on the cheek from my husband_ kids sent off to school_ stayed at home all day_ husband off to work_ came home, he came home_ i had a lovely day, thank you, obligatory post-dinner *** and as a lock i am content.
