(un)happy *little boy day

there’s a folder beside my bed filled with
RADIATION IS NOT FOR DUMMIES
pamphlets:
Radiation+Anti-Oxidants
Caring for Burns
Eating Tips for Sore Mouth
sadly no pamphlet addresses The Return:
How to Return to Life After The Cancer Shit-Show
How Not to Feel Like an Alien Amidst the Un-Cancered
How Not to Pretend This Didn’t Happen
too bad they didn’t drop helpful pamphlets from the sky
on Nagasaki+Hiroshima for the burningthirsty masses
in the radiate-apocalypse 79 yrs ago today

nowadays radiation is used for good and held over the world’s
head by chubby boymen +a short Russian madman with a bear fetish
perhaps soon these poems will be filled with the scent of baking bread
daffodils +sunshine my meditation gurus tell me (actually beat me
over the head with rarified aphorisms: BE HERE NOW! uh huh
and please do give me a couple of weeks to return to my former self
the one who had a brisket+cookie making mother in Paris gowns
+chignon i may need some time to locate that self +restore her
radiatedsoul put lubiderm on her invisible burns + hollowed out braincavity

hey have you ever heard of
sympathetic pregnancy?
ie., Couvade Syndrome i hereby coin the term
APE’S SYNDROME: faux effects of deep brain tumours
+ high dose radiatio on loved ones 💥💥💥
can i get an exorcism?
