My doctor called today to tell me
That my cells were abnormal
And require further attention
When can I come in for more tests?
The news left me strangely calm.
I have always thought that life is overrated
I'm tired from the effort it takes
To fix a smile on my face
Nod and pretend to care
About the petty problems of yahoos
When I have enough to deal with
Living in my own sorry skin.
Being told I have only a short time left
Would be a blessing.
I would move to a loft in the city
High above the dirty streets
With a neon light in the window
And an oven big enough
To house a head.

cavu182almost 13 years agoI had a similar call some years ago, interesting ending, perhaps I had a similar thought had not the results been acceptable, if not perfect, this is nicely written and thought provoking ... J
twelveoonealmost 13 years agoI hope this is literary fiction. If it is, ending is wonderful. I feel the rest says what it supposed to say with the right effect. Not bad, out of how many, one loser. Sorry for the lack of detail on some. All I can say is I will read with interest. Remember the name.
