Real Synthetic Love

Adam Roachford 2002 (Bridgetown)

August 22 
Free verse
Outside of thought, inside a soul
I trod once more on this nylon of wisdom
As dogs hum contentedly where birds pee blindness
A heart created a part of bodies industrialized

Your sweet smolder soothed my center centrifuge You're self-centered, sent her to smolder in a suite If not for electricity that fuels the realized rage Bitterness from the lies the material's worth

Imperfect as you were made to be broken
If not today, then tomorrow
Until you find a stronger bond, you were made to be broken
If not today, then tomorrow
You are perfect in that way
Genuinely artificial
