A Temporary Flea Market

Hearts were the cheapest then came lungs and the ribs O, how can I mistake there were spines too on sale So people came the heartless ones the lungless ones the ribless and the spineless ones I too joined the fair with my wounds for a landfilling When a seller showed me how filling is a matter of time I came home and left a wok in the garden for monsoon Others persisted in the trial they tried all that came but nothing paired well with their bodies They thought at least logic, reason, and solidarity would do well But these too failed them because of the blinding shine of opportunity.
