"Intervention" Spaiku, Part 4: Pretension (4/16)

[mere-ubu.livejournal.com]

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.

Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you so much! This is the haiku that helped me figure out what the hell I really thought was happening in the episode, and I'm glad to hear that it spoke to you.
