MY PAIN MY OWN PAIN
I shoulder the pain
my shoulder is the pain
every time I move left
raise my arm it sounds
like a broken marimba
you built one from scratch
not on computer not even
from a DIY kit but
by the seat of your
pants home to a very
attractive bottom
that I don’t see
often enough
my pain my own
goddamn pain
smacks me down
to a full stop
all I do
is whimper
