Body for sale - Augusta

HUMAN BODY: Heavily Used, Fixer Upper - $75 OBO (Augusta, GA)

Category: Automotive

The heart is a badly built machine always working too fast or too slow, never on pace. I find myself constantly adding various types of fuels to level it out. It seemed like a bad idea when they put it in. Its valves are turning a horrible shade of drab green and it barely beats at all at times. It will need a replacement soon.

The greyish liver is always over capacity and overworked, constantly grinding through chemicals that fly like sparks onto saw-dusted floors overlooked by waitresses in old fashioned brown dresses. Most days you can't get a drink in there if you were loaded.

The brain has been dulled by self medication and has crashed several times due to constant programming and re-programming. It has always started up again, just never the same. It floats around aimlessly in salty brown liquid its foul stink akin to homeless shelters or a crowded county jail. It occasionally leaks out the eyes burning a shiny trail through cracking white skin, where it will rest on a hair near the corner of the mouth, only to be quickly erased before it is noticed by another set of eyes.

The skin is scarred and tattooed. It can tell you stories of fistfights, baseball bats and crashes with tattoos that translate into manifestos nobody reads. Skin on hands full of cuts and scrapes, owned by a working class nobody. Nails bitten and torn to expose bleeding cuticles, need work.

Stomach rarely gets attended too. It growls loudly but its ignored, its main function turned to a medium for moving chemicals into the blood stream.

Face is ok. It is attractive enough to attract some attention, yet it spews garbage, re-programming brain may fix??? It can get you in real trouble, it hasn't smiled much, it may have stopped working. Replace those hollow eyes, the vacant stare can become taxing on those around you.

Feel free to contact me if you want to see what your getting.
