Last night I
got a call,
it was Maria, calling
from the hospital,
she’s a nurse,
she told me a guy has
had a car accident
fractured his spine,
he’s 25,
he’ll never walk
again.
He already wants to
die.
I said nothing, I had
no thing
to say.
Maria asked
would you want to die
if this were you?
I couldn’t answer.
Maria said
when we last spoke
you said the best
thing about your life
is the way you think?
Yes, I said.
Well the guy in the
accident, he’s perfectly conscious,
what does that say
about life
if consciousness isn’t
enough?
............................
I said nothing,
I couldn’t think.
