Boss
I.
Do I belong to my body or does it belong to me?
II.
When I guard its health and safety, I am its owner.
III.
But when it fails, I am its slave.

About lifelessons
My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
Profound. 🙂

I broke the rules in the last line by not using the compound word, but I figure a better poem is more important than following the rules to a “t.” Glad you approved…

I’ve decided my body and I are a team involved in constant negotiation over possibilities.

Maybe we take our bodies too much for granted.

You are absolutely right. It’s only when they start to go wrong that we realize our bodies’ intricacies.
