found a shirt that i could pull over splint this morning.
trouble pulling tight socks off last night.
took the opioid once, so far. CBD preferred.
when i slipped on invisible ice and fell,
sudden crystal clear awareness and gratitude.
it was not my right wrist – am right handed-
it was not my knee
it was not my hip
not my head
just my left wrist!
and though two bones fractured, one of them splintered
after doc straightened wrist
a ct scan showed all the little fragments aligned
exactly where they should be
so may not need surgery.
”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
