I.
Juxtaposition—
Buffy gropes to find the truth;
Spike fondles a lie.


II.
Spars with the Slayer’s
robotic doppelganger,
works out his issues.


III.
Gadget likes to play;
what she lacks, she makes up in
enthusiasm.


IV.
Bot’s ecstatic chirps
helpless against you, you fiend!
music to his ears.


*V.
I want to let you
(gasp) bite me and devour me
until there’s no more!


VI.
Wants to be trusted
with her life’s blood, to be found
irresistible.


VII.
Jarred from fantasy—
[Beeeep. Start this program over?]
never be Buffy.


*Found haiku taken from episode.

How do you actually convey so much meaning in 17 syllables?

LOVE that first one. Such a good parallel.

Oh my! Groping, fondling, sparring, playing, biting, devouring, wanting: just wait around, fella.

This is an incredible sequence, from the insightful first, to the reality blast last.

Wow, way to condense the theme of the episode into one tiny haiku! Love this.

These speak so strongly, with so little.

Oh yes, they're both at a crossroads

I want to let you
(gasp) bite me and devour me
until there’s no more!

Wants to be trusted
with her life’s blood, to be found
irresistible.

Poor sad deluded Spike...

it's pretty bleak, existentially speaking, up to that point.


It is indeed - both of them feeling that there is nothing for them in the "real" world, seeking an answer. The comedy doesn't quite conceal it.

This found haiku is perfect - as is VII; while I is genuinely thought-provoking.

I know most folks have mentioned it before, but you hit the jugular here with cool precision. Awesome!

(VII is snerk-worthy!)

Damn, that sounds soooo surrealistically hilarious. Your wordplay never ceases to amaze me.

Well, the first one is perfect just as everybody else said, and the third one is pretty evocative (you can really hear him speaking); all of these are funny and sad.
