A rhetorical question imagines going through life with a broken neck one knows nothing about.

The tension is between serious injury and unawareness. The page is literary language, not reliable medical testimony.

One typed sentence carries the page: 'Is it not wonderful to go / through life with a broken / neck that you do not know / anything about'.

The missing question mark leaves the sentence between question and ironic statement. The broken neck is a figure for unfelt damage, not a medical account.
