Emotional Robots

mountain paths
people laugh
another smoggy day
he turns to her
stroke and purr
another game we play
touch and smile
stay awhile
emotions not allowed
sex and sun
summer fun
he never kept his vow
so much fear
reflected here
afraid of what we’ve seen
flesh and skin
the difference is thin
in our botox society
touch without feeling
mirror on the ceiling
sex: our modern god
a model in tight jeans
reality unclean
love sold, happiness bought
empty nights
no love in sight
loaded pistol in trembling hand
a pregnant girl
from a one night whirl
pull the trigger we understand
tomorrow is just another day
new actors in this passion play
caught in a web of one night stands
