Sore Toe

.


My toe just stubbed 
the stubborn 
piano's iron foot.

          It hurts like hell, 
          torments like a 
          cigarette butt.

Doc said: stay home, 
don't walk, take a day 
off or more.

          I did, but now I'm 
          bored to death, 
          not only sore.

But boredom quickly 
breeds some crazy 
thoughts, you see.

          Seems my easy chair 
          sits on me
          uneasily.

Quite weirdly, 
colors I now hear, 
sounds I now see.

          I ache to be 
          stirred as sugar 
          in hot coffee !
