Hello, So and so
Pleasure to meet you
Greet you
Please I hope I don’t offend you
Send you
The wrong message
But I do have a heart
It's just sitting next to an alternator
And my dream generator
Connected to my thought processor
Have been filled with you and me
Stored under file name #daydreams
Hope I seem ok with an arm that gleams
And vent on my neck that steams
I know I'm unsightly
And my glowing eyes are frightening
Even though I'm not high-definition
And I break protocol tradition
All of my calculated decision
Are never based on superstition
And even if my WiFi fails
And my speakers can’t wail
I’ll read every email
That you send to me
All my updates are free
And I’ve got a battery
Using energy efficiently
Overnight under day
Because I’m a cyborg
Hope that's ok
Because I hope that's okay
Virus alert!
Greetings juveniles
With my style of all styles
Superior to all on file
My apologies on the freeze
But excuse me
You will need
to fulfill your questions in order to stimulate a legitimate answer legitimately
As my computational, sensational flow slides
I provide the jive to thrive
All around the world
All 510 million square kilometers of it
Is the perfect scene
Since you are one in 7 billion 223 million 84 thousand and...
well you know what I mean
But despite my being more machine than man
If I’m not you’re leaning, I understand
But I’ll tell you why you should
In binary just for fun
01001100
01101111
01110110
01100101
Sorry about that
I'm usually not that forwarded
Forward it
To all your contacts
Contact lenses couldn't see these facts
Fact is I'm not perfect
No one walking this earth's surface is
But it's possibly plausible
If you find me tolerable
Then perhaps you could be
Finally
Everything this Cyborg needs
To complete
My operating system
I'm willing to upgrade
Upload, download, update
defragment, empty the recycle bin
or even drive wipe and begin
again from the start menu
Then you
and I
could be status: synced
and our programs: linked
But in the date, or rather, event
I long for that day
That if we really can be one flesh
I hope together we'll say
I'm a Cyborg and That's Okay
