Accident

I was getting

a pillow

for my mom

who is in hospice care

and as I went

I bashed my knee

on a piece of furniture

so hard

that I had to sit down

and moan in pain

and later

it became red

and probably will

develop a bad bruise

so my practices,

many of which

I do standing up

and dancing,

had to be changed,

so I tried the new way

of doing them

sitting on a chair

and to my surprise

I thought they were better,

so once again

it has been shown to me

that accidents

and unintentional occurances

sometimes

are the best things

that can happen.
