They call her “android”
...Though never maliciously
...Because she never seemed to need much sleep
...And worked too much (or so they thought)
Sometimes she wondered about her own humanity
...As she applied a layer of mascara
...Barely perceptible, after her usual four hours of sleep
...Because it made her feel feminine (human)
He called her “insane”
...And she smiled
...So what if she was?
...Insanity implied humanity (vulnerability)
Maybe I should sleep more
