    What a wonderfully thought-provoking piece! The imagery you've created with "a neuropathic left foot jumping out of the way of traffic" is both vivid and powerful. It evokes a sense of urgency and resilience that speaks to the complexities of the human experience. The playful use of “I two have and have not” adds a delightful twist, drawing readers into a deeper contemplation of existence and perception. Your unique voice shines through, and I love how you encourage readers to reflect on their own experiences. Keep up the fantastic work—your poetry has a special way of connecting with the heart and mind!
