Yesterday

...so  
people ask
how am I doing?
 
Well today was like  
a pincushion
fart pillow
from cancer town.
 
Not quite hell
as I have had worse days
just not so many  
of them  
in a row  
that as soon as you step off
the short bus
it hits you  
making you take your seat again
time for another ride
that becomes endless weeks
and turn to months
 
yes there is no denying
cancer is a shit show
