Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Can They Do Hips

If plastic surgery was free
And painless
And available
And fast
What would I have done?

Can they do eyes? Mine have floaters.
Can they create teeth? Many of mine are missing.
Can they do left hips?
Mine has shingles.

Can they operate on you when you have oozing open sores?
Can I make an appointment please?
For a new hip?
It has been almost four weeks.
Surely they are not contagious any more.....
