Abyss-black hair cascaded in waves down her back contrasted with her alabaster skin.
Luscious blood red lips pulled into a tight pout.
Lavish eyebrows that outline perfect ice-blue eyes.
Undulating curves in all the right places ensconced in a second skin of green satin.
Resulting in a woman who was the epitome of perfection.
Except she was only a picture on a magazine cover.
Can’t think back to the days when I was 100% human
You know, when I did everything without some sort of enhancement
Began with a set of glasses, then came the phones
Over time, virtual reality crept in complete with the ability to feel the matrix
Reality became distorted into something malleable with AI and social media saturation
Gaining an augmented suit and grafting it to your skin might be a step too far? Probably not.
Reading books was always a chore for Melonie
Every page was a struggle for survival with respect to staying awake
Viewing the text made the words devolve into scribbles
It was enough to give her a migraine just thinking about it
Even the pages would cut the wafer-thin skin of her fingertips
When she finally was done, it was all worth it when she left a one-star …
Keeping with the weird down under thing
In comes a fruit with hair that tastes kind of like a strawberry with a tropical twist
With a skin that could use a bit of a shave, while that isn’t too freaky
It was the fact you can eat the hairy part that made me shudder
Can’t things just remain the same?
He shook his head reading the paper about another closure
As if being single wasn’t hard enough
Now where would he meet women? He hated Tinder.
Going on Twitter just made his skin crawl
Even though this virus likely wouldn’t kill him, his love life was RIP.

Fiercely defending her right to her emotional space, she stripped off the pink dress
Everyone was encroaching on her. In the past, they might have swallowed her whole.
Now she wrapped her fists with barbed wire, feeling it cut into her skin.
Come on world. It’s me against all of you, and I’m ready to fight dirty.
Everyone better watch out. Mama bear is ready to defend her territory.

Focusing on the bubbling cauldron
Reggie watched the chicken dance
It made his mouth water as the skin tanned
Exactly two minutes later he scooped out his prize
Destroying it with his face
