"For Now"

The cancer is alive
Deep down in my blood...it boils
I have no hair...just scraps and hard veins
My tongue hangs to the floor
My eyes are slits
My teeth bleed
My nose is crusted
My ribs are torn
My knuckles peel
My skins gone gray
My eyes gone black
My toes curl into each other
My ass bleeds
My breath tastes like a hooker’s armpit

But I’m alive...for now.
