(For those who might not know – the photo is of an old game called “Jacks”, and those things really hurt to step on in your bare feet. – Owen)
I know there’re sharp things in this world;
I have feet, knees and elbows
That seem to find them, each and every day —
Right now, I’m on painkillers for
A back that’s really messed up
From seizures, and from how damned much I weigh.
And so, to put this out of mind,
I write about my neighbors,
My blog-pals, relatives, and strangers, too —
I know there’re sharp things in this world,
For always, I will find them:
And I can guess
That it’s the same
For you
To share is human:

here’s an old dame
who knows the old game
called “Jacks”
I was impaled once or twice
and a huge “owie” ensued
but it was the olden days
and I mostly wore shoes
