The sculpture sometimes
Has a built in weakness
A slight imperfection
A structural flaw
That may be hidden and
Only observable when
Moved about in certain ways
The great Creator sculpted me
With one of those unseen flaws
Appearing when I move
A certain way and suddenly
Structural weakness is seen
In my lower back
Walking around
Stiff, like a statue
I am reminded of how much
We take movement
For granted
Care should always be taken
When lifting things
Or loss of freedom will ensue
Hindering mobility
Fortunately a chiropractor
Will manipulate my structure
Back into place
Easing the pain currently
Etched across my face
Back, no longer displaced
