I am a cyborg.
Am I sexy?
Does this device make me the femme fatale of your futuristic fantasies?
Or does it make me what I fear – flawed, fallen?
Disease does not denote fitness
But does Darwin even apply anymore?
I try to find the answers in your face
As I tell you about the inner mechanics of my body
Does what you don’t understand turn you on?
Does it confuse you enough to make you want
to wonder and worship, conquer and control?
As we sink down deeper,
I disconnect – my insulin pump –
Untethered, I fall into you
A rush of oxytocin replaces insulin,
The life-giving force,
La petite mort
With or without the machine, I am imperfect
I must be fallen for you to see me
Naked
