double post?

unconsciously we react to the android as if she were a woman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
her eyelashes flutter
and you blush. is she
flirting with you? i begin
to get jealous, take my drink
to the other side of the bar
two can play this oh yes and he
is looking at her too. her skin
is flawless. her body conforms
to her what a dress, her breasts
defy gravity. you move over
a stool, whisper in her ear, she nods.
you buy her a drink. she drinks, you
talk, she nods, you talk you
buy her another drink. i wonder
where she puts it. never wavering tho
there is a smile now, as you take her
coat and arm to walk out the door.
i follow. he follows too. you open
the car door, watch her leg rise
and enter. she stares into your eyes
until you look at her. he and i
enter into this on a periphery.
decide we want to plug the sensors in.
suddenly i'm drunk. you're talking
about the time you tried with an underage
bot. the tightness. she assures you
they're all made to the same specs-
the most popular, i assure you.
we nod. the mirror nods back.
