Is probably benign

But nonetheless

Makes me think about

What I would do

If it were a tumor

I realize

The article I’m writing

Is less interesting

Than I convinced myself it was

In order to motivate myself

To keep writing

I’m grateful

For the good times

Fond memories

Play like blurry films

I imagine I’d be given some time

The cliché of the doctor

Telling me I have

Insert number of months here

I’d probably start living

The way I should be living

Right now

But the bump is benign

So I keep wasting my days
