Salford, 8th April 2017
A gap in the line of teeth
caused by a toughened Chinese spare rib
hidden by the scarred lip
caught whilst shaving
Mark above the eye
that chickenpox i had to scratch
Lines in the chin – covered by facial hair
caused by a flight without wings
Another Line – Across the foot where i’d fallen and cut it ,
A victim to a stray sharp piece of broken glass
stitchmarks in my head
where the surgeons drilled away
to ease the pesky headache pains
and check the working valve and drain
Lines that tell a tale – of woe ?
A story that has time to grow
to me a tale that means a great deal
as at each stage I’ve had time to heal
Wow! All that and … You must be half a doc by now!
Or, SuperHuman at the least.
