replacement parts

with his new
hip, he hardly limps.
there's barely
a drag
of leg or foot anymore.
he can even
dance,
play sports, jog
and bike.
use the clutch
and brake on his sports
car.
he's part metal now,
ball and joint.
titanium parts
tied tight
into the bone.
he's not a new man,
but he's
better than he was
before, both new and old,
a road
we might all travel
before long.
