Android In Love

Android In Love

Recellularized Android 887-V landed directly from the void
On unexplored planet 59-G in sector 23 today   
Electromagnetic shifting components and arrays deployed as planned
Without delay several probes were cast
Placed on display on the baron world
On the cold blue frozen rocks and oceans
The remote dim sun gave little hope for light
Like a small white dot laying down the last rays of life 
Landing gray on the last known place in the galaxy
Android 887-V came back to being
Triggered by a crisp green pulsing electron beam 
There to survey everything in sight
To walk the remote world with directives sharp and clear
In proper programmed cyborg style, ordered from beyond
Confidence in what it is designed to do
Methodical recordings, storing’s, gatherings of everything
Then it fell… and all that ended
A sharp object, something jagged, caught its metallic lowest edge 
Causing a slip and tumble down the ice cliff   
Shattering most of its components in the snow
Its brain switched off and on and sizzled
Right there it fell in love with something
More precisely, it was a blue green crater 
Of perfect rim, dimension, size and depth
That caught its eye and observation
It found a proper spot to rest its injured head 
Android 887-V came to work and to explore            
But found much more
It landed in the crater, in love, a childlike toy
A play thing in the void
Feeling almost like a human being 
That found its one and only thing
A true hold on reality
It simply wants to be alone 
With his one true love, his crater
Formed, created here by nature 
The final thing in the universe and from the void
An android needs, to fill in the holes in life
This hole in planet 59-G sector 23 is here
It is his everything
