Something on my mind
More like in my face
An infection
Swollen cheek sagging
Doctor tells me it’s serious
Hospitalizable
Antibiotics arrive for combat
Parachute directly into a vein
Strike team deployed
Dr. Hindsight squares up
Lectures me on preventing infection
This could have been avoided
If only I had been more vigilant
No shit doc
If I’d seen it coming
I would have jumped out of the way
This chair is nobody’s goal
I’m grateful I truly am
You may have saved my life today
But before we start pointing fingers
Let’s count all the things
That haven’t happened to me
No need to hold your applause
