Synthetic Biohybrid Babydoll
They ain’t gotta
Make me outta plastic
My cells are synthetic
And I bleed like you do
My supernatural abilities
My subferal proclivities
My cognitive metaphysicality
Why is the Freak
Such a threat
To the bland
The everyday
And the ordinary?
Such a threat
To the bland
The everyday
And the ordinary?
Observe my superior
Laboratory tested
Musculature
My fibers
Wound tighter
Than your
Momma’s neuroses
Neuroses spun looser
Than Portnoy’s free hand

as i age i see the lechery in everything. everything is a flirt or a reason to investigate… but this is an ode to Roth, right? so that seems appropriate.
Yes….a reason to investigate! I had just read an article on Portnoy’s Complaint and I thought it made for a good jab.
Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone!
I love how the syntax and diction uphold the bravado.
“my fibers wound tighter” stanza made me smile. Excellent stuff.
