The Sun Rises
The sun rises
or the earth lowers...
science has spoiled much for us--
crept into the secret of our dreams,
even tampered with love
something I have lived by
sustained me
when food had become tasteless
and what I drank
made holes in my gut.
Sometimes I wish
all I knew didn't matter
and the rain was just wet
and the sun just warmth
and never the thought
of cancer
