Negotiations

 

Don’t get out and about anymore.


The body is in payback mode for


the abuse I put it through in the past:


Too much booze, smoking and heavy


lifting.



I say, “Move” and the hip and legs


say, “Make me!” (Vengeful and


obstinate bastards! We’ve been


through a lot together.



Now we’re stuck with the way


things are, I explain. And I realize


it’s too late to take back every bad


situation I’ve put you through; I


feel your pain. So sorry!



Unfortunately, my body and mind


do not see eye-to-eye. It’s worse


than trying to negotiate with the


North Koreans.



I’m a hostile adversary with my


own body. I’ve even tried looking


cross-eyed, but my damn nose


gets in the way.
