Now We Kill The DNA š„

OH Ā can you kill the DNA Ā in the cells Ā of my
memorybank Oppy? Ā Ā de-bulk Ā Ā resection
theĀ hospital stay Ā Ā all putrifacto+lobotomy
or is it now part of what makes me Ā old gnarly as fuckĀ ape?
fuckthat Ā this one was mild Ā compared to the Ā others
can i get a witness Ā Ā Ā hey Ā what about me?

( ..i used to be pretty.. )
the screaming in the night was a laughcry Ā Ā wasĀ thatĀ
a child? Ā Ā we asked horrified Ā NO Ā it’s an adult Ā they said
cryptic-grimace Ā Ā Nurse Rached-esque

we heard it again weeks later Ā in the ante-room Ā of Aristotoles Ā a
small angelic brainsurgeon Ā in green Converse Ā Apreeeeeel Ā he said
i have never damaged a carotid artery
he knocked on wood Ā convulsively Ā Ā lucky not to be Ā the first Ā not
this time Ā when cancer says Ā iĀ like you Ā Ā you say Ā why me? Ā andĀ the
maddogĀ universe says
why not you!
