Having been busy all through the day
felt the pain in the knee at night
gnawing and splitting in a way
unable to sleep for an hour even slight
the pain was excruciating and acute
lying down seemed a problem great
sitting up posed an obligation statute
what am I to do ? I very much hate
myself and my knee all to be pulled apart
throwing them into the dustbin at last
before becoming a stumbling puppet
intending to race 
out of the world in a start.
