In the market for a heart

Why not? I ask We can't we can't Lily says Completing her current task Maybe...someday She doesn't thaw at all She tries to spare my heart 'Cause it's the law Now I lay bleeding, in the market for a new heart Damn that Asimov! "A robot may not harm a human being or human heart" Lily recites the law She's so smart... She knows that love is the most powerful emotion That love is hazardous She knows that this is true whether through art, hormones, or potion That love is crack-cocaine-plus-plus Yet by denying the opportunity for love Sweet Lily hurts me more That's why I'm appealing to the Great Above Please, God, in the next life, give me a heart of boron Let me have a heart that ticks tocks ticks tocks So that maybe I can understand Lily's thoughts. I'd pay anything for that. Goodbye Lily...thank you. 1. A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by the human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. - Issac Asimov's Three Laws of Robots Note: Asimov didn't pretend his rules were foolproof. In fact, he showed the futility of trying to hardcode restrictive laws into robots in "I, Robot". But his name fit the theme and near rhyme, so I used it, hehe. Oh, and crack-cocaine++ can be shortened to C++ HAHA. So the last two poems I've written have been about topics suggested by friends (anime vs realism and robots). If you have a random idea, let me know!
