In a new world with a new life
I toss the bent metal and broken glass behind me
I defy the car wreck defining me
Put me on the news, but did not steal my soul
Broke my brain, but did not limit my reach
My work is new
My outlook is fresh
I am disabled, but full of love
Thundering need for more
An unsatisfying wheelchair
So I jog every day
An unsatisfying life
So I married a priest
Now, now, now
Perfect

Murray W. Dunlap woke up with a severe traumatic brain injury, as well as an MA in creative writing (not remembering a single class), after a three-month coma. He has fought, and continues to fight, to put a life together. His marriage to an Episcopal priest is a clear win in this fight. As a writer, Murray has written more since his accident than anyone could have ever predicted. It has turned out, after everything, that some of it is actually good. Find him at www.murraydunlap.com.
