Wilbur's Amazing Pneumatic Girlfriend
Did not operate well in
locales of less than one
atmosphere.
Wilbur would carry her
on his back up, up, up
into the Andes and puff
to a stop, open her fire
box (he had to pull her pants
down to do that) and
blow on the smoldering
anthracite that heated
her boiler.
Wilbur’s girlfriend looked
pretty on the ice with
steam hissing softly out
of her nostrils and an
icy demure smile on her
titanium heart-shaped
face.

Every time she hissed like this,
so radiantly, so purely, his own heart ached and melted. Every time.
He pulled her to him by her spun-copper filament ponytail and kissed her until the door to her boiler clanged open and shut and her sacral promontory began to glow.
