Notes About The Poem

Musings After Getting Shot

i’ve been shot.
this is hysterical.
i mean historical.
        this is good
           no, better.
the softest tip, not even
a black and blue pinch.
             meanest
          no, but yes
          meaningful.
amazing grace in a tube;
i’ve trusted a God that is good
     up to this point,
           forever still —
                    not ill.
should i bend over for the second installment?
               now that
                   would
               be
             hysterical;
   historical too.
perhaps for this i’d keep my mask on
             my face —
red underneath.
