STORIZEN POETRY
Victor Ludorum I wonder if the white walls of the hospital room we occupy has ever seen fist bumping before or ever will. We fist bump to celebrate every little step of his recovery. Soon, we will be back home to our familiar rooms familiar beds, familiar smells and sounds fist bumping all the way. Before we know it he will be up and about, irritating me with his OCD and treating me to coffee that only he can prepare. We may not fist bump much then for, this struggle would have been in the past. But this is when we would click selfies.
