She missed her creator; he

was no longer in love; died

in the lab when she went

preflight – short circuited.

Now, no longer being able

to function in a normal state

Everything she did was

fallacious – mechanically eroded.

She literally went through the

roof; no misgivings, misguided

Was out of preflight; cheap parts

underminded – timed elevation.

Came crashing down and was

scattered all around, could never

be reassembled; soared for a few

minutes – memory erased.

He took all his blueprints to the

afterlife; would never see her

again, went their separate ways

Heaven – scrap yard.
