Imagine this in the near future:

"Hey! Dear I'm going to the Body Shop, do you need anything?

"Umm, yeah could you pick up my new Enhancers. They've released the latest upgrade and I really want to wear my new skin to the ball tonight. Which reminds me, I've got to rush to Dr. Z for my dimple and cheek reconstruction session. He called a while ago that they got a new batch of the injection."

And then this is already happening:

Dialing/ringing tone...

"Hello Mom, we just got back from the bank. They've got a donor who's got all the characteristics we need. He'll be making delivery by next week and the surrogate is on standby. I'm happy to announce that in nine month's time we'll be proud parents to a bouncing baby boy!"

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness  Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
