259 (06.04.2015)

When we can't move we know what moving is,
When unable to eat know hunger burns
And when we touch the serpent's tail the hiss,
It warns us that in pain the body learns.
I click my back and paralyse myself,
I did this once when visiting old friends
And just today while putting up a shelf,
I've got a back that inner turmoil ends.
We warn ourselves to slow down just a bit,
We often bite off more than we can chew,
And then we have to work a while with it
Until at long, long last we make it through.
But bodies warn us, with a little pain,
And say "Slow down, or else be damned again."
