Chronic Trip
6-15-17


30-Day Image Prompt.


My body is a road map of natural disasters.
Hurricane hips, shoulder mudslides,
calves of drought, and a head
that doesn't know if it's comin' or goin'
in whiteout blizzard conditions.
Along the way I stop at tourist attraction pills
to gas up the tank and fix the flats
but the luggage rack's a little shaky
and locals never seem to like me.
The journey of a hundred trigger points
starts with the first flare-up,
where every day is a new discovery
of what hurts the most.
