My spine is crooked.
I take off my shirt
and it looks like my
body is swollen on
one side.
There's a hole on
my chest; some
insect insertion,
living between
strands of hair.
A scab is on the
back of my head
and it hasn't healed
in years. I'm afraid
to fix it because I
may make it worse.
I'm terrified of what
wounds may breed.
Surgery is probably
the answer or something
like it. I hope they don't
miss and cut something
on my spine. God forbid,
I become as paralyzed as
I feel.
