Lumbar, ilial, thoracical dismay.
Lumbar, cervical, thoracical disc-fray.

Rrriiiip!
Superannuated-ripped-discs-vex-me-and-stenosis,
Condition when a neural
Pathway once open closes.
Clonazepam--mo' than a dram!
I could down ten doses.

Supine-call-the-pharmacist-"Rx-me-pal-big-doses"
Lumbar, ilial, thoracical dismay,
Lunch: bar, spirits-swill; medicinal foray.

My sacroiliac is weak. . .
In sack, on pillowed pads.
Pill-stingy dorsal docs seek peek
With resonance and rads.

Infirm; I squirm, bones burred and spurred;
Hurt moseys to my toes

Super-palliatives-eclipse-this-vexed-me-all-is-roses,
Barbital, Seconal, Demerol I take. . .
Halidol, then I fall, and I crawl like snake.

Don't know how my back came undone,
