Broken Neck Blues

When I had a broken neck and no car, I knew I needed to buy a car, but could not even drive with a broken neck brace (A HALO). I waited until I got the neck brace replaced with a removable neck brace and then walked down the street and looked at used cars in the user car lots. I bought almost the first car I saw. There was not one person on EARTH who was willing (or able) to help me buy a car and I had to buy a car when I could not even really test drive a car because I had a removable neck brace. I am lucky I got as good a car as that. I live in an apartment with 80 units and nobody is really anybody's friend. We are all isolated strangers that just let each other suffer alone.

When I had a broken neck, one or two neighbors helped a little, but nobody cared very much. I am just lucky that I recovered well enough to fend for myself in this brutal world of ignorant strangers.
