They ask you again and again, What happened? Tell me the whole story And you repeat yourself Each time thinking it’s been received But then a new ear, a new clipboard, And they make you tell it again.
“What happened” becomes more important Than “what’s happening now?” Because they care about the mechanism More than the injury
So what will they do when you go radio silent? When your heart breaks do you need to rehash how he hurt you, Again and again for each secondary witness? At what point does the sordid story end And the sequel begin? Or will the pursuit of healing, The treating of trauma, Forever be defined by the mechanism of injury?
