the cure
cured,
better at least,
free,
out of hospital, out of bed,
out of the parking lot,
out of the city, away.
surrounded by people;
the doctors forgot something
during operation, silver
in my innards, glass.
surrounded by people.
is noticing sickness in
others an illness?
or perhaps a symptom,
of a see-through cancer?
their silence is not normal,
their noise is a lump,
demented gorillas roam
the streets, they set fire
