Look!

It’s here

It’s there;

I can feel it

Why don’t you see it?

I can feel it

I can sense it

I’m sure it’s there

 

Yet again, it has come back to bother me;

That preoccupation with my health

 

Something is holding me back from

leading a life of vigour

Is it (the preoccupation with health)

holding me?

 

(Pause)

Or am I holding it?
