J. Richard Kron
it would break
their heart to know
we have no human
heart at all.
our form is starting
to show through our
scrounged-up pieces
of people’s skin.
it’s taken years of practice
working together
to form a smile
and give a thumbs-up.
we have to move
very carefully
when we make love
or we’ll fall apart.
