Reflections by the victim of a spinal injury that’s left him paralyzed from the neck down. He draws a distinction between “my head” (his brain and sense of self) and “my man” (the rest of his body).
My Man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely coated in uninterrupted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
Why then am I in bed?
I guess my man's fallen out with my head
May I direct your attention to the following simile:
You're like the coasts of an ocean
Buried beneath is a submarine cable
Connecting the opposite shores that surround it
My Man
How can he stand
Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle
My man won't walk again
In conflict with express instructions given by the brain
Why can't the message be sent?
I guess my man's fallen out with my head
When something happens to drag on the floor of the ocean
For instance, an anchor or mooring
The cable can be disrupted and even be severed
Which halts transmission across it
There is no way to repair the break
My Man
Muscles from hand to foot
Completely coated in uninterrupted skin
My man
Signals command the leg
To follow orders coming down from headquarters
My Man
How can he stand?
My Man
Muscles from hand to foot

My Man
Won't walk again
