I have an electronic dove
that weeps late at night
for the early morning's passing.
I must get it replaced.
I have a handcarved television
that only picks up green
and sky-blue stations.
I must get it replaced.
I have a fuel-injected garden
where flowers whisper pale
purple and golden in twilight.
I must get it replaced.
I have a nuclear fishpond
whose glowing denizens
keep me awake at night.
I must get it replaced.
I have a hand-woven calculator
which runs on sheer willpower and detergent
but the numbers all add up to zero.
I must get it replaced.
I have an automated lover
who loves me with all passion
would do anything to please me
