touchy

an awkward grin at her
touching my swollen groin

yet I don’t remember
her hands inside my body

funny how
I wear embarrassment

now, with my pants down
trying to seem casual

as she smiles and says,
your surgery went very well

The lead-in was outrageous enough that I sort of saw the punch line coming a verse or two ahead.  Having (ahem) been there.   It is funny, though... I wonder how much general anesthesia addresses the issue of embarrassment more than we like to think.  I mean, a big dose of rum, biting a bullet, and being held immobile by a couple of hearties used to suffice for surgeries including limb removal.  No women aboard the tall ships, then - that must be it.
