I know many folk who have back trouble. I tend toward a wonky brain. Until this week... that is. Wonky brain (not a technical term, mind you) has now decided to add my lower back to the chorus. Keep walking, my trainer says, Keep walking. So I do. I walk between sessions. I do the three of five exercises she showed me. I will make sure I learn the other two tomorrow. Meanwhile I keep walking. This is not bad advice, in general.
Now that I*ve mostly mastered
The art involved
In living with a brain
Where seizures threaten
With every barometric shift,
My lower back
Demands more attention.
Really?
I find myself
On the floor
Curling this way
And that.
I remember exactly
Three of the five back exercises
The trainer taught me
Yesterday.
I will return tomorrow.
Whatever you do
She says
Keep walking.
Whatever you do,
Don*t sit for very long
At a stretch.
Whatever you do
Keep walking.
