Elbert Finegold
looked in
the nano-mirror
and found his
ultimate demise
thought he could
self-replicate
and would build
at the atomic level
cell by cell
and come into being
searching for
a virtual companion
in synthetic space
virtual environment
a virtual kiss
and virtual love
knowing his time
had ended
and there remains
only the last of moments
