Subverting the Nail

from oneletterwords.com/weblog/
Driving the fractal spike home
From the ER
The critical point becomes
A bit of a problem, medically speaking
Soccer cleats spell danger
And a neck fracture leaves him
On the brink of death
Yet he perseveres
To ride the leapfrog into battle
And returns
Wearing the hero's crown.

  2. I seem to be riding a wave of inspiration lately, triggered, no doubt, by the waves of inspiration/perspiration emanating from your quarter. Anyone who says otherwise is itching for symbiosis.

  3. Yes, and "waves of perspiration" are nothing to be sniffed at!

  4. Indeed. If not for the miracle of iontophoresis, my dog would've drowned years ago.
