1063 Views |  | I am a walking catalogue of disaster,
courting dysfunction and disease.
Through the blood injuries of my ancestors
I’ve inherited a predisposition to surgery,
to suffer through invasive procedures,
lengthy scars in the folds of my skin,
counting on multiple medicines
to enhance internal reconstruction.
I endure liaisons with lancets,
my physician silent while I weep,
and when the pain becomes unbearable
I yearn for the succor of sleep. |
