lyrics

CROOKED SPINE

These aches and pains I know so well
have followed me like an old pet.
Faithfully,
from house to house to house.
I know when I wake
they will be here again to greet me,
welcoming me to the new day.
They ( li ke a p air of ol’ d wo rn ou t shoe s )
remind me that I’m still alive.
they help me to appreciate
the moments
when I can actually walk
upright
vertical,
like the rest of the homo sapiens
A few years of suffering
can make one feel quite crazy.
I guess, maybe I am,
crazy that is.
I try not to let it show.
Straight-faced
and self-assured.
But it does, at times,
leak it’s way through the gates of my tear ducts.
I cried a river last night (I never
was one for swimming; or,
fishing for that matter,
and I don’t even own a boat).
And I shed each tear in regret
of something
past tense in my life.
