Future Biometrics, by the Cyborg Jillian Weise (sci-fi poetry, 2015)

"You’re lucky
we have other bodies

to put your daughter in"


Blurb: a poem about cyborg death.

Why is it worth your time?: the Cyborg Jillian Weise has written lots of cool essays and poems on being a disabled cyborg, how money and society mold that, and that cripplepunk sensibility embues this poem. It's good, give it a shot!
