For Sale Poem by Daniel Edward

my body parts are for sale
a dime a dozen
'i'll take the liver'
'and i'll take the lungs'
'i'll take the mind'
'and i'll take the thumbs'
pretty soon im almost sold out
dispirited and hollow
but they keep taking
'i'll take the skin'
'and i'll take the bones'
'i'll take the eyes'
'and i'll take the soul'
sorry i say,
but im all sold out
of that one
but the line is building
and there's not much left
to take.
