::::::::
My daughter putcancer in her bucket
along with rocks
and dirt and sticks
and possibly other
extensions of our
family=s
genetic flaws
I could draw
out a list but the
nurse said it hurt
too much when I
asked if I should
wait for him to
fetch more paper
as they prepared
my epidural
I knew I could
be spooning out
cancer, but I just
didn=t want that
to stop me from
having kids
perhaps their
ammunition
stockpile will
survive the
dump under this
house
