7 - numb

In the hospital, a gentle man helps me into a wheelchair and rolls me to get some x rays. Where does it hurt? Where does it hurt?
Everywhere, and nowhere. I must be in shock.

Although I can barely see out of my left eye because of the swelling,
and my words are warped by my fat lip,
and apparently I´ve just been in a very bad accident, my body is numb.



Not paralyzed numb, just numb.
No shooting, no splitting, no searing, just
dull
nothing.
