Words Cannot Compete With Health
Words whispered into bullet holes in motel walls
how reliable are they?
They mean less than they did once upon a mattress
or underneath it perhaps.
Words bullying and strutting
Make no difference
when a mean one comes for you.
Words cannot compete with health.
I used to think otherwise but there are
so many interactive systems it is impossible
to cut out pieces or make sense of mere words
due to the fierceness of the illness presentation
which has no names but a variety of horrible
symptoms that keep me from finding me.
