It was on hospital stay #4 or #5 that they gave me the suite, I don't know why. //I'm lying the gurney, rolling towardsheaven: theroom with a view,, , it'snot quite ideal but

it's something to do.

Personal mystery diagnosis ,,painedin my gut, behind my ribs & in the brain. Headache'd or insane.

I'm sick, quiet, undressed. My hair is a mess. What's

it like bleeding? Oh, I would know. What's being

non-sense? In love with the world. So hard, I

hold on & get fear to let go. My heart's twitch twitch

lub dub gives away the desire I know.

To live!

What else but just pain? "I'm glad that you came." I say to him softly from the

bed that I lay. //His is a cot.

When they come for my blood, the nurses wake us both up.
