to find words
there are so many ways to talk of Pain. we speak of aches, breaks and burns. we use words like "acute" and "visceral." doctors are the worst, they use big words i dare not pronounce, like "Nociceptive?" - no - suh - - sep - tive - ...perhaps. some have not the time for descriptions. keeling and cowering, they use what few words they have left to beg for mercy. often, i spend too many on myself, and still i am unsure of them: a voice crooked and handwriting grating. so for Pain, all that is left is: "Thank you."
