A prosthetic device holds them up
in embryo form
they articulate
the value of indifference
grotesque lovable repulsive
they suck the paps
of an exhausted past
and promise perils
runaway progress
hobbled and cobbled
with organic transplants
ready to grow
old prematurely
they understand
the issues involved
are interventions
in human life
they can never be perfect
but love transforms
abnormalities
I love them all
they are family
