mechanical heart

inside this paper body
this flimsy fragile mind
sits deep and dark
in blood and skin 
sits wonder for a 
mechanical heart

in organ rich and slippery
sits next to 
bone work frame
statuette of primitive art
mechanical heart
i want to trade

with ticks all metered
and tocks aligned
a metal heart
would do just fine
never worn
and never stutter
a metal heart
might never
falter.
