Lying Low

Mama
Today I lay down
on blankets
Below your body

On the ground
Below your body

Searching for the cause

Supine
A mechanic disappearing underneath,
sliding under you

Searching for the cause

Of the sound
That terrible rasping,
grinding, grating

when we press UP

(I detached the hi/low bar and reattached it and tightened the retaining ring but)

To no avail
Mama
You would not rise

The bed is busted
