“A Rose for Empathy

My pelvic girdle remained whole and intact, thank God.
What a grace, me still qualifying as a higher vertebrate in this ordered peck.
My paralysis diagnosed only from the legs down.
The drunk driver and I had arrived at the same hospital at the same time.
He in worse shape than me.
I witnessed his violent death in that very moment before being rushed to surgery.
My sentence was mere paralysis.
And my largest sexual organ, the skin, and my most important, the brain, remained whole enough, if not intact.”
