I Broke My Leg

I have no time to notice

what takes place around me

 

Distractions daily duties grab focus

away from who I am might be

 

I break my leg and the misery

means I must lie still do not move

 

as every simple motion spasm

cramp serves to reprove

 

listen listen listen

 

i go to pieces, Says the Tibia

i feel trapped, Says the Fibula

i cannot move, Says the Knee

there's no common ground, Says Achilles

i need air, Says the Ankle

step on it, Says the Foot

we love the outdoors, Say the Toes

i've got you covered, Says the Cast

we want to go places, Say the Crutches

have a seat, Says the Wheelchair

i'll be back, Says the Leg

 

Leg leg Leg

I will keep it together

 

I Broke My Leg

I was unaware there had been an ice storm overnight. A quarter inch of invisible black ice in the parking lot was my downfall, resulting in a broken wrist and a broken tibia at the knee. After a week in the hospital and a week in a rehab facility I’m finally up to checking in on Flickr.
