Fractured: A Poem for Annette [download]

I’m in a terrible fix.
My body placed always at risk.
Broken bones are now my ambition.
I’m in love with an x-ray technician.

Off roofs I cheerfully jump.
Down the stairs I fall and go thump.
I seek fractures and have no contrition.
I’m in love with an x-ray technician.

Large men I challenge to fight.
Drive high speed with my eyes closed at night.
“Did something snap?” Oh, that’s what I’m wishin’.
I’m in love with an x-ray technician.

Will she love me before it’s too late.
Of bones, I’ve just two hundred eight.
Every one I’ll dislodge from position.
I’m in love with an x-ray technician.

Oh, Annette you’ll be hard to pursue,
When I’m casted from my head to my shoes.
But my heart won’t surrender the mission:
Win the love of my x-ray technician.
