my body. i know the difference
between
a cough
and the flu.
i know what
a rash is, and what
the difference is
between
a strain and a torn
tendon.
i know how to wrap,
or put
a band aid on.
i know what a fever is,
i know
why that spot on my
arm
turning green
used to be blue.
i know why my eyes
are blurred
this morning and my
voice hoarse.
i know what palpitations
are,
what the jitters
are,
why my knee aches.
i know all there is to know
about elevation,
ice and heat.
i know what pills to take
and which ones
to leave alone.
i've lived in this body long enough
to figure most
things out.
i'm good as long as the doctor
keeps his hands
to himself.
