My first words were "I don't care" it was all downhill from there
And my first words came in despair
They were vulnerable and scared
And then the whole planet grew overcrowded
And I needed escape
Exiled to waste in this human behavior
I was first hurt coming down the stairs
I dove headfirst into the sliding kitchen door
The emergency room was bright
And I didn't know which way was up or down
And I held out my hands
There were ten fingers on each of them
Come down to my level
My line line of sight
At my bedside
As I mumble a line
And the anesthesia subsides to a throbbing forehead
And watery eyes
And takes me some time
To recognize
Who you are
Who am I
My first words were I don't care
It's been all down downhill from there
