Cancerland

The usual guide posts have become unreadable, Their stony font occluded as in an ancient riddle; Glyphs without the Greek. The road is marked one way, no returning traffic, Its service islands marked - MRI, CT, CAT - all graphic; Ultrasound without the music. People speak in the language of probabilities, Yes, no ,do not appear in a lexicon of uncertainties; Welcome to Cancerland. Cancerland is an archipelago of tests, and immutable Results, its residents adrift in the intervals and vulnerable; Runners between bases. A chemical war zone, Cancerland employs its foremost Weapons to kill the Invaders, and the Invaded - almost. "A village destroyed to save it." There is no exit visa for Cancerland, always the next test, Of surveillance for recurrence in the never ending contest; Life lived in the intervals.
