My Encounters with Acupuncture

by Padmaja Iyengar-Paddy

my knees pin cushions
at the acupuncturist’s
who needles to cure

I poked fun at him
he poked needles on my knees
acupuncture worked

acupuncturist
deftly pierces needles
my knees - his PIN pad*

Your definition for pin was apt as a banker.

Thanks Hema. In adversity and in pain, I think the best relief is to laugh at oneself :-))
