Things That Goes Bump
I bumped my head
I spin in semi-conscious state
hours advance imperceptibly,
and weightily, like glaciers.
The ceeling-fan continued
with its endless litany
thunk, thunk, thunk...
A rationalization struck a chord in my mind...
Why am I here ?
In my jammies ?
When can I go home ?
how will I get there ?.
my home carer found me,
on my kitchen floor,
I was unconscious,
and taken to hospital.
NB: close wall-cupboard doors !
I could have died that night, had my carer not found me.
