Hey! Ho! Nobody home. Would you like a little tome?

Question

things we say

life goes on
i’ve seen it all before
people come and people go
perhaps i am more fortunate
the crisis passes

all the funny pieces all the segments all the pain
i was too frightened to go insane
fear welds the scattered pieces of the spirit
and pain brings the mind into focus

looking now at the wide white walls
i see the long thin cracks in the plaster
and read the names of the presidents
administrators and the donors
they gave their lives
so we could live

I’m all right
i’ll be well again soon
i’m getting better, really
I am
i am

Reminds me of the first day out of bed (IV in tow) and the long walk - down a hospital corridor. Seeing all the pictures and plaques - on the walls - through new eyes. Hope everything is fine with you ♥

Hi, read your other posting...but, was just off to bed and too tired to write anything worthy of you, so I didn't respond (so I felt guilty when I saw the question)

Any road up....as usual this is a great read.  What I love about your poetry is its spontaneity and flashes of genius...and I see that here.
I don't know where to go to single out phrases for special appreciation (but I admit 'I was too frightened to go insane' does it for me, and the 'looking now.................plaster' bit satisfies my poetic needs.

ps - I think my comment for yesterday's piece was going to be along the lines of 'This is so different from your usual style, but is, as always, a wonderful effort' I'm off out now, so I haven't time to revisit it.
