For today, try to write about an injury, one of your own or one of someone close to you. Go as deep into this as you are comfortable – a serious injury may be difficult to tackle, but it may also yield powerful writing; a minor (even humorous) injury could be successful in a completely different way.

traction
Medicine/Medical . the deliberate and prolonged pulling of a muscle, organ, or the like, as by weights,
I
am wired to this bed
a
fly
In
a spider's web
of
pulleys,
cables, and weights
waiting
for ice chips
useless
bouts
of sleep
muscles
can't
won't
aren't
allowed to relax
mama's
boy in the next bed
screams
his head off
making
sleep impossible
he
is also wired and weighted
similar
injuries
apparently
his are fatal
I
want to dream
fly
stand
and walk
I'm
becoming hooked on the Soap Operas
can't
watch shows with surgery
makes
me queasy
or
it's the remnants of anesthesia
Quippy
TV doctors piss me off
Alcoholic
surgeons and
incompetent
interns in Hawaiian shirts
I'm
watching cop shows
I
hate cop shows
somebody
get me outta here
I
just want to go home.
