My Little Toe

Brief wondering re sentience.

 

Oh little cell

On my little toe,

Are you sentient?

Do you know I’m here?

 

Oh little cell

On my fractured toe,

Do you suffer?

To whom do you pray?

I can't say I've ever wondered what my little toe is thinking or feeling though I have done it with other parts of my body before. When it was me, however, I didn't quite think so deeply about it either. I tended to just give my arm (or whatever I had happened to hurt) a sort of pep talk.

What a unique perspective. :)

Thank you. I've been carrying the idea for a very long time, and then I fractured the toe - the poem's time had come. :) The original inspiration was Horton Hears A Who.

This is very interesting. A different perspective of the whole world from the bottom of your foot, up.
