I woke up wrecked
one arm
dead numb
one leg on
fire
with nerves,
and some one jabbed
and pushed a twisted knot
of flesh into my back.
My neck
was drawn
and hot, pulled taut
and hung at rakish angle,
crazed and shot with funny
pains when last I tried
not quite
to straighten and
untie
I must have slept
on all
this wrong.
This afternoon,
I thought I'd take
a nice lie down. I'd
stretched luxuriously
within the stolen moment
I had won, and laid me
down flat out. Some fun.
Ah, nah I lied. The nap
went fine. It just
went way too long.
Four
hours!
Whoops
Felt guilty
when I woke,
so I
wrote a poem
to give myself hell! A bit,
then
my head got cut off and flew
into a cliff while my body
grew fire all over it, like thick
fur. And it burned to utter smoke,
and the stink of human flesh.
Burnt,
I mean.
After that I was
kind of tired
