She’s My Ever Lovin’ Machine
She’s My Ever Lovin’ Machine - meaning Summary
Love Manufactured, Then Betrayed
The narrator invents a mechanical woman to avoid further heartbreak. He describes her as constructed, obedient, and easy to control, built to supply affection on demand. The poem treats artificial love with comic irony: the invention initially seems to solve his loneliness but ultimately fails when the machine runs off with a toaster. The poem highlights themes of control, loneliness, and the absurdity of trying to manufacture love.
