Last week I tripped over a yellow extension cord
In the garage
While holding an assortment of cleaning supplies
And a roll of paper towels
Having washed my car inside and out
Brisk is my middle name
efficient is my other middle name
I tripped
And my cleaning supplies flew away
Paper towel roll too
I toppled like a chainsawed tree
Slammed head first to the cement floor
Ricocheted off debris
And you just know garage debris is the worst
For a few minutes I did not move
Just laid on the concrete, finally
Brought my fingers up to touch my nose
And my teeth
Nothing broken
After some minutes
Since time was passing
And nobody was around I
Got to my feet
Walked into the house and
Laid on the rug with ice packs
For a whole hour
The cat came to see me.
Ouch! Glad you are okay!
