Malingerer

The doctor confirmed
I’ve recovered from abstraction;
Weightbearing’s returned;
Metaphor’s in traction.

And here’s a prescription for capsules:
“Take one color three times a day”;
Red, green, and blue the retinas relay
Involuntarily, and vision relapses.

“Let this solidity act as a deterrent,”
I was warned while the plaster hardened,
And yet I nurse the hope that followers pardon
Whatever of the figurative escapes resurgent.

Red, green, and blue the retinas relay – The retina of the human eye contains specialized cells that detect light in the red, green, and blue ranges.
