After Slipping on Black Ice

Feeling better?
No dice.

Pains when I walk,
look like a dork,

dragging one foot
after the other,



elegant
as Quasimodo,

feeling better
than I ought to.

Christopher T. George

* Slipped and fell down the brick steps of my apartment building on the ice at 6:00 AM on Tuesday morning. Broke my distal fibula in my left leg. Will be in a soft cast and on crutches for the next two weeks or so.
