"Vide Supra"

In January I met with Dr. Frasier Henderson, top Chiari-EDS Neurosurgeon in the world.  He told me that he believed my arm and leg weakness was from compression of my spinal cord due to my craniocervical fusion and lower lumbar instability from my detethering done by surgeons at the Chiari institute.  I'm having more tests done in May, a special "sitting down" MRI because the lying flat ones do not show instability.  Just hearing that there might be a way to regain more independence of life and relief from some of this inspired a song.  "Vide Supra" is the Latin used in the dictionary for "see above" for a definition, but I chose it to represent optimism.

Drawers full of jacks
And hammers on my back
And planners full of slack
collar
ahhhh

Door mats laying dormant
On a floor of floriations
And the varied variations
Are very lost relations

What if there’s a vide
To the upper side
A vide supra to go
Ahhh
Returning verve to another page
A moxie by proxy

Ahhh

I remember stepping over
Cracks in the path
Afternoons of clement union
Sinew to sinew

0ooh

Scuzzy brass tacks
In panic baskets
And relax caskets
Ahhhh

Take me lying flat
and you wont see where I’m at
Bend me back to analepsy

Can you read the vide
To the upper side
The vide supra to know
Ahhhh

Serviced nerves in a stalwart aisle
A new street, a macrocosm
Of emerald possibility hills

Any movement I can mountain
While I’m still alive
Take me here
I’m more than willing
Won’t you let me lie to myself?
