there is a time
and i know it has dawned upon you
late that night
that you do not want any pore of your skin
or tip of your hair
for another scrutinizing
scan
cancer is just a cell
that screams and goes berserk
runs amok
in those complacent organs
and chokes everyone that
it meets
soon it will be a time-bomb that explodes
and kills all those
innocent bystanders
you are prepared i know
and there is nothing to worry
cancer is your paid ticket to another trip
this time
the place will be exciting
exotic
or quixotic
since everyone goes there anyway
and those who left earlier
so far did not come back to report
about such an
enigmatic travel
look for a travelogue
there are no notes
enjoy the trip
grab the ticket
it is free
the flight is certain
nothing canceled
nothing rerouted
but this time there are no duty free stores around
you are
alone.....
(perhaps still scared) and you look at the announcing electronic board
there is no fixed time yet
oh yes, the doctor will tell
you approximately
not the travel agent of yours
