It hurts to laugh today
It hurt to laugh today
my ribs are sore
it made me stop
and stare
What is it now?
what caused that!
I am falling apart
simple stuff
Is it a heart condition?
my cancers back?
pleurisy?
ribs inflamed?
what the hell
One more thing
on the pile of
one more things
I don't want to deal with
or even think
But its all happening
even if I don't want it to
sore and hurt
I can breath
so its not likely lungs
I don't know
a medical mystery
for the doctor to figure out
Getting old
is not for the meek..

I don't know

for the doctor to figure out
Getting old
