My overly sensitive spine
If my body feels nothing
Then my spine feels everything
Loaded to the brim full of nerves
On full alert
24/7
An example of this stupidly sensitive spine
is going to the barber
Cutting my hair
What could go wrong?
Well...as soon as the plastic bit off the razor goes off
To trim the back of my neck
Miniature earthquakes tremble down
All the way to the left leg
It happens every single time without fail
Another example is sleeping
To this day
I can't sleep on my stomach
Why?
The slightest wind blows
across my spine
and it won't have it
I'm not sure if having this overly sensitive
spine of mine
Is a blessing
Or a curse
But I know one
Its too dam sensitive
Then my spine feels everything
Loaded to the brim full of nerves
On full alert
