Olympia

Olympia was her name

With a pliable polymer frame

The cutting edge of design

The most promising of artificial minds

A companion without a need

Who would follow my every lead

And would always

Always believe in me

Someone to understand, to share a life

Someone to help with journey that I'm on

Somebody who's always on hand

The perfect wife

A supermodel automaton

She's more than an automaton

About the third week or so I started to lose control

Olympia made demands

Just like anything else that is sentient

She figured out my deepest flaws

She wound me up like a machine

She would not be my toy, I'd be her human being

Someone to understand and share a life

Someone to help with the journey that she's on

Not really the future I'd planned, an uphill climb

A high maintenance automaton

She's much more than an automaton

Why didn't I shut her down and why is she still around?

I guess I started to feel something

Toggled in my own programming

And when I think about what I've done

And even more about what I have not

I seek forgiveness from Olympia

I'm learning to understand

To share a life

I finally see how I got it all wrong

I'm learning to become a man

With open eyes

And a man needs something

More than just an automato

Much more than an automaton
