Short Renal Poems

We had a code which was purely penal 
Easy to enforce and not anal or renal
Was never any bodily harm
Caused by our constant charm;
Task we performed had been menial.

I am up and writing poems as usual.
At the crack of each morning my mind

Riot and rebellion reoccur in my rest.
has been ramified and ranked, in My rate
Round and round, revealing remorse
Righteous reputation, reverse reverence
Rack on my ratchet and roar to the rope.
Resident reutilization is running out of the Romp.
Give up the race to rehabilitate Renal.
Reverential Razor Ridiculously Regal

And planted
Two bean-like objects
Inside his abdomen

And took

And took

And took 
Too much carbohydrates
And took 
Too much fatty foods

Far too much spirits

I wake up early Monday morning
still cold and dark outside
eat my breakfast, take my pills
sit and wait for my ride,

arrive at the center
get comfortable in my chair
like I do 3 times a week
thankful t hat I'm there

I come to every treatment
I never show up late
I eat a healthy diet
and watch my fluid intake

This isn't the life I chose for me
but I have to tell you this
I wouldn't be sitting here today
if it wasn't for Dialysis....
