Androids
we cannot
feel pain.
My name
is what
humans
become
when
put
into
fire.
Will
they
now
put
me
in
the
fire?
There’s
some-
thing
in my
circuits…
Androids
are used
to parasites,
viruses
in our
system,
but not
tangible,
but not
three-di-
mensional
with acidic
properties.
The parasite
is hosting
inside
my outer
parts;
the parasite
uses the
mechanics
of my makers
attaching
itself
to my
insides.
My empathy
data tells me
it must very painful
for human beings to experience.
