Speech Comes Back In Spurts and Sputters
Loud crack!
first thought, why did I not wear a ….
the word helmet does not come right away
or at all
Eyes float shut
Someone yells for me to open them
I am drifting
Want to rest
Face close to my face
commands me to stay awake
they get me to the hospital
prognosis not great
speech comes back
in spurts and sputters
long time healing
headaches severe
sometimes see an R
when I should have seen a 7
especially overwhelmed when
I am tired
Comes back in spurts and sputters
brain nothing to fool with
wear a helmet
