Senescent Osteocytes

A journalist writing on bones,
And how they’ve recently been found

To converse with other organs
And the nervous system, exclaims,

It’s as if you suddenly found
Out that the studs and rafters in

Your house were communicating
With your toaster. What a surprise!

The Internet of objects lives!
Lie awake in your bed some night

And listen to your creaking walls
Full of repaired plumbing and wires.

You know they’re talking to your bones.
They would find your toaster boring.

They’re commiserating
With the core of you that’s failing,

The scaffolding that’s folding, fine
Help anyone gets from your thoughts.
