my childhood best friend’s mom<br />

it was very bad<br />

her cancer<br />

operable but<br />

not survivable<br />

not tolerable<br />

they would rob her<br />

of eating<br />

of not saying<br />

the word<br />

goodbye<br />

when goodbye<br />

came<br />

she chose<br />

the standard<br />

non-intervention<br />

my whole life<br />

my mom’s<br />

best friend<br />

my childhood<br />

best friend’s<br />

mom<br />

and me waiting<br />

these last few days<br />

about a contract<br />

probable pass<br />

as luck likes<br />

to have it—<br />
