Absurdity of Bone
Falling out of trees
I should be used to it,
but the pain is loud
and I'm too old to roll evenly.
The snap pop crackle of brittle bones,
the so confused slow-mo-brain...
The metaphoric ground still hurts.
I'm way less witty today,
it hurts to walk,
a struggle to talk,
I need a shot or two or three
of something more inspiring.
But Time wins all games,
and each player will know shame.
old bones
cold toes
me on the way on down,
today was an odd one
and it's not quite done.
I should be used to it,
but the pain is loud
and I'm too old to roll evenly.
The snap pop crackle of brittle bones,
the so confused slow-mo-brain...
The metaphoric ground still hurts.
I'm way less witty today,
it hurts to walk,
a struggle to talk,
I need a shot or two or three
of something more inspiring.
But Time wins all games,
and each player will know shame.
old bones
cold toes
me on the way on down,
today was an odd one
and it's not quite done.
