Fell Down
or "Get up"
I took a fall
the second in 90 days
it was just a split in time and
on the concrete I lay
my body had betrayed my age
no one warned me about
my first white hair
or the onset of the bifocular stage
and the new time it takes to take the time
puts my children in a rage
i thought of these things
as a bell in my head did ring
get up it said
you are not dead
i took a fall
the second in 90 days
the second in 90 days
it was just a split in time and
on the concrete I lay
my body had betrayed my age
no one warned me about
my first white hair
or the onset of the bifocular stage
and the new time it takes to take the time
puts my children in a rage
i thought of these things
as a bell in my head did ring
get up it said
you are not dead
i took a fall
the second in 90 days
