the factory parts

they're putting new
hips into people
up at the senior village.
new knees,
new shoulders, new
hearts even.
new lenses
for the cataracts,
new kidneys.
they're rerouting
arteries. shaving
off bone,
breaking and setting
twisted arms
and legs
from getting old.
but i'm holding out as
long as i can,
keeping my factory
parts
until the bitter end.
