I've fallen and I cant get up, sounds so cliched.
But my finger was throbbing and its the finger I usually use to pull up my weight.
all two hundred and forty pounds of me.
So I had to use the other nine.
My brother looked amused.
He had this look on his lips,
like as if... he could not have thrown me down better.
Pursed,
and then paused.
letting the neighbor dust me off.
My coat of snow and shame.
When she hugged me, I felt funny.
"hey, I do this now!" I thought to say.
I give hugs, get hugs,
and when I end up on my butt on a sheet of ice,
I can stand up
and give a good solid hug.
I do that now.
I think my neighbor might wonder,
why I planted such a heavy hug on her?
But I cant shake this feeling...
This happy, go lucky, go drive by and hug...
feeling.
And my brother he smiled.
Laughing at the look of me hugging this woman.
And the way my head must have looked naked
with his hands full of my wig.
