Tripped and stumbled
Landed on my head
Broke my favorite collarbone
so here I am in bed
Time drifts along
in a blur of days
Pain meds keep me
in a permanent haze
What am I doing here?
What was your name?
Tuesdays and Saturdays
all look the same
Take another x-ray
Pop another pill
Thank God for Medicare
Send them the bill
Hope it doesn’t take too long
to mend my wounded wing
Everything’s a challenge
with my good arm in a sling
