Peter Magliocco

All things in due time, she announces.
“When the elements of ague consume us
The last martyr will confront you,”
Pointing to a broken clock face
Behind which mold slowly grows.
The minute hand hangs as God’s teardrop.
Will you sing at my liberation? she asks.
I swore I saw her years ago, perhaps
In a dream spoiled by sleeplessness.
When we were both texting at mid-terms?
But now recognizing my female double
Threatens my manhood’s last vestige.
She tells me that I’m her “sex robot,”
Expensively made by digital engineering,
& she’s been waiting a long time for me.
“Hi Jesus,” she purrs, kissing my cheek.
