Blog Post 27.
This may be one of my most serious pieces. Almost one week ago I underwent an operation and have since been convalescing by watching movies, reading and blatantly disregarding the work I still have left to do to finish my classes from Spain. Maybe it’s procrastination, maybe it’s denial that abroad is over- or that it happened at all. Regardless, the Theory of Everything is a fantastic film.
Today I tried to write a bit of a song on guitar but it turned into this free-form poem that basically explains itself and the last week of my life (more or less).
I sometimes like to drink Chobani yogurt
the berry flavor is especially good.
And applesauce too.
I just got my wisdom teeth removed.
That’s right,
I have been taking many painkillers.
Why are my gums
stitched to my cheek, Doc?
Don’t you know I love to smile?
I just want to have an appetite again.
I’ve lost three pounds
of muscle.
Maybe soon I’ll get to eat solid food.
