Sinews and cartilage and bones and liquid
this useless air bag and thumping engine
will one day become rigid
eyes and ears and mouth and soul
a gooey mess of synapses
its use takes a permanent toll
strength and toil and sweat and grit
we can all live forever
just for a bit
failure and faulty parts
hospital visits and mental floss
damn doctor sold me a dud heart
so eat an apple a day
and keep your heart in a cage
to push death away
just one more day
