Dear Johnby Kenneth NicholsWorld Premiere When abandoning a lover. Licked that envelope with a happy smile, My replacement right above her. She swore a lifetime to me, But that lasted sixty years. She looks the same as then; All I have is Synthe-Beer. I can’t go on without her — Can’t remember life alone. We lived each day together Before nanobots were known. Now she’s with an asteroid miner, Half-time the speed of light. Living out her first time forever, Sent that letter out of spite. I feel her presence upon it, Her saliva sealed our doom. Even an android girlfriend Couldn’t fill our empty room. I missed everything about my wife, Her touch, her feel, her taste. But thanks to how she sent that letter I can have that girl replaced. |
