Identifying Bodies
Identifying bodies
On a show like C.S.I.,
On scars and beauty marks
Or dental fillings did rely.
Our bodies, every one unique,
Have freckles, dots and lines,
Arranged haphazardly in ways
That DNA designs.
Though nowadays the morgue has
More at hand from which to choose,
For it must be much easier
To track down one’s tattoos.
