Ficsated

by Eddie Aderne

“‘Fictosexual’ man married hologram bride, but now struggles to bond with her”
New York Post

We shared a page; it isn’t hype,
Though cynics thought our tale a sham:
We found we were each other’s type,
As hollow heart met hologram.

Our love was deep: we went beyond
The bounds of the conventional,
But recently I’ve found our bond
A little two-dimensional.
