*Gregory Manchess* Falling
Accident
Yesterday,
I went
Out
To
Sweep
The
Gutter,
Perform
This
Small
Labor,
And
Be
A
Good
Neighbor.
At
Least,
That
Was
My
Intent,
But
I stubbed
My
Toe,
Lost
My
Feet,
And
Over
I went,
Right
In
The
Street.
Just
Like
That,
I fell
Flat,
Twisted
My
Knee
And
Leg,
Scraping
My
Elbow
And
Hand,
And
Banging
My
Head.
I lay
There
With
Wounded
Pride,
Struggled
Up,
Limped
Inside,
Bandaged
My
Cuts,
Feeling
Slightly
Nuts,
Sorry
I had
No
One
To
Call,
To
Say
I’d
Taken
A
Bad
Fall.
Today,
I’m
Stiff
And
Sore,
And
What’s
More,
There’s
A
Lump
On
My
Head,
But
As
I said,
I’m
Clumsy,
But
Not
Dead.
