Another modern medical miracle

Conversationally

---

One's bones, since inaccessible
are therefore much neglected.
I ordered mine to be removed
and plastic ones inserted in their place.

My reassembled skeleton
sits in my favourite chair.
I converse with it late in the night.
Each of us pretends to be the other.

We're playing cards now. If I lose
I'll be forced to have my skin removed and stuffed.
