Machine Like That

Machine Like That

A Poem by Michael Handel
"

Uhhh..hey baby....so uhm...you come here a lot?

"

And so it was,
we had put our metaphorical
cat-suits on and left for the night.

We'd always spoken of doing this....you know
...dancing pseudo-seriously, feline-fractured
purrs, pussys, Etc. Etc.

She thought I was all talk.
She thought I lacked "the walk",
vigor, diligence, dirty Sundays, rainbow head-bands and s**t

...s**t like that.

"IIIIIIII don't think so" said I,
opium-tinted goggles, I'd conspired with more than one gaggle of geese in my day,
metaphorically speaking of course.

I admitted that I'm only as handsome as she thought I was.

I admitted to being a "rolling stone".

I admitted that I could love her if she'd only wanted me to.

I'm a machine like that!

I like this one.
A little confusing, but a quick re-read fixed it. I think I am just a little sleep deprived.
"She thought I was all talk.
She thought I lacked "the walk","
Those lines are definitely my favorite.
