Verse
A tumor in the brain
is fine I say to the nurse,
It’s like having a new house with
A view of the universe.
The little girl asks
The little girl asks “How can he stand?”
She means on my feet.
“It’s not so bad,” I say. I mean It’s not so easy.
It’s not so sad.
It’s okay don’t cry, says the little girl, walking by.
