A strange numbness
Not Numb to feelings
Rather feeling alright
No, better - Excellent!
Relieved, pain replaced
By euphoric bird chorus
& though finally free
From your stiff neck
For first time since
August back when you
Twisted it, floating
Feeling seems almost
Tedious, meaning this
Paradise may feel nice
Yet now B Numb with his
Indifference when realizing
How much this really costs him
