the bright side of the road

his head was
bandaged like a wounded
soldier
at Antietam.
there was a tube
in his neck,
wires and what not
connected to his arm,
his heart.
the cancer was everywhere.
but he was chipper.
winking at the nurse
changing is
bed pan.
i'll be out of here in
no time, he told
me.
do you have any winter
work coming up?
