One Every 24 #47

Anecdote Hinting at a Recurring Fear


When he told B. B. it was terminal

The doctor likened the disease’s spread


To weeds taking over a lawn.

It’s impossible to get them all, he concluded.


What bullshit, B.B. thought at the whole idea of being

Shut off at the height of twenty-six


That a lawn survives with care in spite of weeds

And a goddamn doctor can’t even kill me


With an accurate analogy.
