"reply to well"

well i wish i were well

well enough to act well as if well

as if well meant to act well

and acting ____ meant being ____

but i digress, well-wisher, and of course

i am grateful ever so grateful

for trying to 'be well' equates to 'feel well'

you'd think

although it could be said

otherwise

as if well a particular or generalised state

well-being

and that could well be true

'well enough' to work

or to eat, to do things

in short, then, and no beating about the bush

would have to say still not well 'not yet'

feel i must now chase confirmation of status ...the nurse, surgeons, the hospital...

as if 'not anything' strange to tell must be well

proven
