"Just this one!"

I wave the flying robot.
She stares.

She stares
                      t h r o u g h.

"Darling, I-"

I'm on my toes.
The robot flies higher now.

It touches her wispy hair.
                         tired eyes.
                          s m i l e.

I smile.

I fly with my robot
but an arm
                  fell
                        off.

"Ah, get another one."

I hop and run.
Then came back with a flying robot soaring.

Its limbs jiggled.

She sighs.

"Anything for my baby."

Ka-ching.

We went home smiling.
