Ode To An Illness
I don't know why you are inside me -
You have no place there
Yet you have found a home,
No camp, for eternity.
I would ask you to get up and walk -
Find someplace else for your abode,
Yet you've no legs except mine
And you will not take them.
I try to coax you out
But talking with you is like being ignored -
A husband with selective hearing
Who never picks up his clothes.
For when you go, I go.
When I depart this place so you shall
Reason enough to evacuate instantly
The world relieved -
And then I smile:
Lost in limbo you shall be
But I will live forever.
