"It's about words, and words are all I have…"

up up and away🚀

arriving at the Princess Margaret Cancer Hospital  is like

arriving at the airport  cabs buses luggage  cops directing traffic

a sea of suffering

 

but  HOPE  floats   it puts a spring in their step  some getting

ready for  LIFT OFF   the great  BEAM UP   the Maker waiting

with:  burncream+gravol   +new bladders

 

 

others are on the great conveyor belt  out of the mouths of the

True Beam Varian God Machines  into  the LIFE  they pray beg

+crawl  towards

 

Day 1: You have a rare brain tumour Sir

Day 115: We have never seen a chordoma recur

with 39 visits to the  Varian Monster   You are free to go Sir!  

 

 

Go?  Go!  Go where?  what will we do every day at 3:30?  will we miss

our radiation community?  Jill Grace Steve  and the crusted over nurse?

but then   after the  GONG of the drum   reverberate done

 

 

the 10,000 things await   the reasons why the crowds assemble here in the

first place  for  one more once  for  trees  jazz  smashburgers  pie   but  WHY?

the little old lady stumbles to her Varian  bent  broken?  she still wants MORE

 

 

of living in the midst of  mutating cells  wells of grief  extravagant births  bloody

LOUD    i’m here motherfuckers  now get those filthy forceps off of me

yesterday  i heard a small child crying in his Varian  it sounded like  strangehope
