Had ten hours in bed
Mostly asleep
Wiped out
Heard my neighbour
Coughing again
Not only am i
In no condition to help her
I'm now in actual fear
Of what she now
Maybe carrying
She's late 20's
Early 30's
She has a great singing voice
I once could sing okay
Now mostly, sing like a drain
The big sleep
Didn't change anything
Still exhausted
And still of course
The pain
Now need to manoeuvre
Out of my bed
I move like a crouching tiger
With a missing leg
I switch on the radio
So i at least
Have the company
Of strangers
And their chatterings
A bit like a ****** of sound
For some reason
Of late
Ive been dropping the S
In sciatica
Silence
Is not always
Golden
