Eleven, that Odd, Unfortunate Number
When everything is wrong or slightly wrong, such
As sex and love and friendship, all that you can
Expect are travesties like using a crutch
Pressed into an armpit tumor in a man
Endeavoring to walk the world, every part
Of it, as if a robust specimen
Were making this attempt. Cancer at the heart
And thigh needs a non-existent medicine
Especially when it is spreading throughout
The self-created victims, in this case two
Of them. In fact the lumps managed to spew out
And harm this pair’s entire environment, too.
A cancer that metastasizes chest
To chest ruins every goodness in its quest.
