the Borg

the Borg Even when our love is going so well
sometimes my fears
loom large as a menacing foe on
the silver screen
some scary villain dreamt of by
a Hollywood screenwriter
after too many gin and tonics
I hear the voice of these fears
lucid and larger than my
insignificant little life
"Resistance is futile"
resonates in my head
only sometimes I am sucked right
into this plot
I'm the ugly one caught between
the good and the bad
the character actor
the comic relief
the person with the rubber personality
I play clean later today
but dirty tomorrow
But who am I right now?
am I really your lover?
