SECOND TO NONE

by Nevada Kerr


I sacrificed a human heart
For a lover that would last
A deathless android demigod
To help erase my past

A creature from the underworld
Without a race or tribe
A semiliquid party girl
With a face I can't describe

A replica spectacular
From the Martha Stewart School
With a financier's vernacular
And a prison matron's cool

An idol with a gloomy stare
A robot with a brain
Sleepless in her rocking chair
Rusting in the rain
