It’s so much better/
getting morning hard when the/
catheter is out.

Don’t Be Embarrassed–> Dance Near Me! Revolutionary IMprov Iambic Verse
A friend started a poem called “Brigham’s Menace” by saying:
“As we danced
And you glanced
If anyone was offended,
None was Intended…”
To which I responded (in a hospital-post-op-drug-induced haze):
Don’t Be Embarrassed! Dance Near Me! (aka “Since when do you care what others think?”)
If disapproving looks are all you see,/
maybe next time you should dance near me.
As we get on our funky groove/
and show these other guys how to move,/
our partners will also dance worry free./
And all those others out there? /
The ones with the disapproving stare?/
We’ll just put throw our hands in the air,/
put our hands in the air/
put our hands in the air/
Air air air,
like we just don’t care!/
Because we don’t.

My hospital room’s/
next to the nurs’ry. It’s not/
fair. Can I hold them?

It’s 16°./
Got a smiley thumb-nail moon./
Runnin’ down a dream.
Affirmation: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku
When God’s servants say/
He’s pleased with how you’re living,/
it’s good to feel it.
