A Full dose of chemotherapy symptoms:
Hair loss, loss of appetite, and pale completion
Antibiotics, Steroids,
And intravenous fluids
I may get sick in addition to this
Cancer.
The doctor I ask
What interests you in this specialty?
“The research of a cell that believes
In the fictional concept of immortality”
Yet my mortality is in question here:
And yet here, I sleep, rest and lay down
Almost stationary to this ever moving world
That supposedly when I stop
I can then move again to rise or fall
An almost witty comparative analysis
If I even dared to displace myself
From this bed
So I continue this rigor of treatment
Despite the horrid regurgitations that follow
And I grow continually weaker when supposedly
A cell divided is a sign of being alive
Where is this immortality this doctor speaks of?
Because I am afraid
For I do not understand
Life breathing life everlasting,
A soporific effect
Matters we do not understand
Are eternally received by preserving
Ourselves in words
