New Bodies In New Era

New Bodies in New Era

we are living 
in a SF world
things are changing
at breath taking speeds

nowhere more 
than with the coming biomedical revolution
soon we will be confronted 
with the reality

that we can live forever
in new bodies
grown for us
in laboratories

with our memories intact
and I can hardly wait
want to throw off 
this aging 65-year old body

and get a new 20-old perfect body
boy, I can’t wait

I would be come 
what I always wanted to be

6 foot 6 inches tall
perfect athletic basketball body

perfect visions
perfect hearing
perfect smelling
perfect teeth



well behave hair
no more learning disability
no more coordination problems

no more fibromyalgia
no more arthritis either
no more aching aging pain
no more mental fog 

god,
 I can hardly wait
hope it happens
before I die

and I hope
 I can live
on forever 
with my wife

also transformed
into a perfect
sexy as hell
 new body
