Time In Cancerville
Time in Cancerville
This time has no resemblance to real time.
Seconds are minutes and minutes are hours
and hours are days and days are months and
months are years. Test results take forever
and we always expect the worst outcome.
Chemo bags drip their poisons endlessly.
Everything never has a proper end time.
The only fast thing in Cancerville is the
growth time of tumors. Each microsecond
they gain a greater foothold. Tenacious.
In this time frame hope seems hopeless.
All good things come to those who wait.
