He mimicked her with an insouciant whine as he tightened the nylon twine on the gristle of her neck. He teased her, copying her wine induced totter to the divan.

Always throwing her spilled salt
“Wards off penance” is what she thought
As previous generations had taught

The doctor was hardly sympathetic
I doubt she had many ethics
I sat awaiting her decision
She asked what was my vision
Would I come out with defeated mind
My femininity declined?
I replied that I would not
It hadn’t entered my thoughts
I was just glad to get rid of the disease
It was the cancer that made me feel unease

Certainly no psychologist
My concern was my physical being
Couldn’t envision forward thinking
I survived which was my goal
No matter what she had told.

Sometimes with only his smile,
Compromise in a relationship
Overcomes the initial guile.

The inventor leaned over the lattice fence in the company’s yard, taking a needed break and trying to settle what might be the problem. The canon of physical biology had not stumped him, but his “female of the future” concept was proving to be more of a fluster than a finality.
He could easily land a pretty model with beautiful hair and body but when giving a hug it caused an electric jolt to a human. This was just sloppy work he pondered, as his brain was overloaded with the stress of his boss’s timeline. If only he was in my shoes he thought, he’d realize this is no easy task.

wonderful concept
having magical dragons
lead fairytale lives
sounds almost poetic till
witches chant, stirring cauldrons.
