a guy came by the office today to get something i needed to pass off to him, my friend answered the door and i carried out the whole of the conversation in the prone position. trying, desperately, every minute, to be in less pain than the last. ibuprofen’s got nothing on this crap.

poetry

these last few days have not
gone as planned.
the throbbing headache,
or maybe just the general
throbbing of pain in the
groinal regions.

three woman
holding, feeling,
ultrasounding my balls.

these last few days have not
gone as planned.

and all because the warning
pain was not headed last tuesday
in a run. and i hope my
body i still in tact, and i hope
i wake tomorrow in less pain.
and i hope at some point the
overwhelming sense of pain
subsides. oh a glorious word—
subsides.

until that day….

  1. There’s a difficult tension of wanting to know what could have possibly caused this.. pain, and exactly the same amount of tension that has no desire to know whatsoever.
