A Fairytale Come Undone

Once upon a time behind the seams,
The lost princess laced shadows of prophecy,
With an unforgotten love.

He was hipper than a Japanese schoolgirl,
The ultrahip, ultrageek, technosexual,
And as often as you look,
They’re still strangers after all of these years.

It’s the science that never got right,

How soul mates who were engineered together,
Lacked in love.
