it’s more of a tap
than a tick,
somewhere, in the back of my throat,
no
it’s more in my neck
a constant reminder,
both good and bad,
good
because it’s a regular rhythm
bad, because it signifies
patched up damaged goods,
I know it sounds ungrateful
hell no!
I know I’m very lucky,
but it’s always there
it always will be
like Captain Hook’s crocodile
but it’s more of a tap
than a tick
