Cancerphobia

fear makes it all so real, the people round us dropping like flies, with no age spared & no combination of genes, environment or upbringing, determined to be perfect, so as to locate its reason or motive---for it creeps in, seemingly indiscriminately & yet, every fake sugar packet gets questioned, every deodorant used, every potato chip, every abundant intake of vitamin E, every sausage, every burger, every bowl of soup, every bit of hair dye, every swish of mouthwash, every moisturizer smeared, every smidgeon of talcum, every x-ray, every call made on the cell, every cold, every glass of wine, every minute spent on face****, every tooth whitening paste, every cup of coffee, every microwaved meal, every single doughnut ever consumed, every french fry, every slice of bacon, every moment spent in the sun too long, EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT WAS ONCE GOOD FOR YOU HAS NOW SENT YOU REELING & time is of the essence, when every little irk in one’s body leads them to believe they are dying & every new report unleashed by the doctors, leads one to believe their days are numbered, seems ever since the bombs got dropped on Japan, vaporizing hundreds of thousands of people, leaving those left alive to the ravages of mutation & radiation in the fall out, the citizens of the empire that dropped the bombs have been trembling with cancerphobia.
