TRADING ZONE #2 – GOOD SONS<br />
—<br />
When we’re all together like this<br />
we’re full of shit,<br />
trotting out stories that’ve been told<br />
till they’re all bent out of shape.<br />
But we pass the wine,<br />
we dish the potatoes<br />
we nod at the flashbacks<br />
as though it really happened that way.<br />
It takes about a decade for the human<br />
skeleton to dissolve and replace itself,<br />
and every three-months our ten-pints of blood<br />
are removed and restocked, drop by drop.<br />
As the sun fades outside the window<br />
the conversation turns<br />
to how he worked his hands raw<br />
to give us a better life<br />
and then he complains for the rest of the night<br />
that we have it too easy.<br />
Were it not for the lens of the eye<br />
and a few other lingering foetal cells<br />
we’d be entirely new people by now.<br />
