Amazingly lifelike, he had me fooled - handsome simulacrum of sincerity.
Oh, I wanted to believe in him.
How I dismissed all the signs on our road trip through the uncanny valley
and out the other side,
my robot love and I.
Until he broke beyond repair,
unable even in his android way to pretend to care
and I saw behind the eyes and thinning hair
the mechanisms spinning there.
