well this is different...
i can actually feel myself failing
i can pinpoint which organs are flagging
my, the burning in my stomach is unsettling
the pins wedged between these ears are unflattering

'how much for a brand new body, sir?
the latest model, new? improved?'
...
'is it shock proof, waterproof, bulletproof?'
'only waterproof' he says, head tilted
what was i expecting?
trade it in, she says all too hastily
take this broken, crumbling frame
'you want it recycled?' he says, eye slanted
don't bother, scrap it: she says, glistening all over
'it's useless'
