PAIN MANAGEMENT FOR HODGKIN'S DISEASE


Only a small percentage-allergic to alcohol
you would sarcastically comment
you couldn't even get drunk
to think over your death sentence

and some days you were going to live forever
and you beat all the odds and predictions
of the day you would leave

you did a beautiful job of cutting my hair
you were the first one to cut my daughter's hair
she is as old now, as you were then

I never heard you swear
but when I saw you two days
before you died
you were swearing

you couldn't even get a Tylenol
for the pain
in case you got addicted or something
in your last two days of life

and I know you know
that I am involved in hospice now
where people have helped ensure that
people like you can get Tylenols
two days before they die

You taught me a lot.
