it’s just gone ten am Monday
eastern standard time
normally i’m at work by now
but not today, this day is all mine
got six days off post-surgical leave
i do hope that's enough
despite the pills nerve numbing thrills
recovery is being a bit rough
trying not to over reach
trying not to chuck
having accepted all the sciences
and a wishful pinch of educated luck
the operation was a complete success
my future has been made brighter
but there is no deal until fully healed
and then it's just lessened and lighter
the pain i used to get from my sciatic nerve
is now but a memory to which i waved goodbye
and a couple of extra steps each day
is all i have to try
the wound is all sealed and covered
and in days the stitches will dissolve
and as the pain very slowly subsides
i make fast and strong my resolve
lucky to be in this time line really
and the odds do really bare counting
in any other semi civilised time or place
i would have been made to walk the mountain
