Softaz looked at Lilium and sent a mental rush

As the thought wave entered her, the Trynn began to blush;

This was such forbidden sport! She was betrothed to Flayyd,

Though she loved her matrix mate her fate was ready made.

Megabytes of memory would help her get through life,

So in love with Softaz but some other Cunjan’s wife;

Both had known the future, from their time as microbeems,

Doomed to love from distant cells – together - but in dreams.

Memories of time in Teenok, younger then, still free,

Then the day their circuits fused, she knew it – so did he;

Overloading memory banks with images of past,

Lilium sighed softly, they had known it couldn’t last.

Children of the Cupp are never left to choose their fate,

Circuitry and conscience finds each Trynn a Cunjan mate;

Once a Plukk is chosen she must never leave the nest,

Softaz smiled goodbye to her, and went upon his quest.

Several thousand pans young Softaz scoured the matrix pad,

All the Cunjans jeered and called him matrified and mad;

Still he delved, and then one pan his lovers’ luck had burst,

There it was – another matrix – mirroring the first.

Calling on the ether, Softaz drew his lover in,

Took her to the other world, where love was meant to win;

Planet Cunj would search forever, such a mystery,

Trynn and Plukk where they belong – in love’s eternity.
