She eats metal
because
she wants to become strong.
Steel sandwiches,
though not great for the teeth
or stomach,
promise to give her that extra zeal
in her life.
Nuts and bolts,
a simple dish to start with,
before she moves onto hardier fare,
like girders and cables.
A friend suggests assertiveness training
but she shrugs this off as faddish.
Her ambition is to become a robot,
shedding all human weaknesses and vulnerabilities,
so she can operate with mechanical precision
without error.
