Reproductions

If you get a good one, nobody can tell.
We all grew up surrounded by them,
Carved by masters who spent eternity
Working the kinks out of the material.

Light snow the dandruff of a gray-headed day.
Our robot vacuum cleaner gets caught
Admiring itself in the mirror.
Even Jesus on the cross likes to look

At born again virgins on the internet.
I don’t know, I don’t know, I say to my fake
Watch that keeps perfect time.
Someday I’ll give it to a bum

So he can remember to feed a dog
He taught to play dead with one eye open.
