Remembering the Past
Sorry for getting personal on this one.
My friend recently introduced me to Radiohead's Hail to the Thief, which is an extraordinary CD. I was hooked. He lent me their collection of CD's. While listening to the songs "High and Dry" and "Fake Plastic Trees," I recalled hearing them during those weeks prior to and after having a back operation to remove a herniated disk. I wrote the following:
High and Dry
Oh Yes. Now I remember
"high and dry" in the 90's
the time my back went out--
a lower disk had ruptured--
I could not stand straight
I could not bear the pain
I could not look people in the eyes
I was a freak out of the circus
I was sure of that--
Other people's amusement--
the entertainer singing
"there goes the broken man"
I grew old
My soul grew tired
My spirit was lost
I was split and conquered
wasted and worn
fallen between the cracks
waiting for that operation
that would make me
me again
