Cannot be shaken off.

 




Diabetes

My generation

With Aunt Mary’s

Pies and cakes.

Proven mistakes.

Costing bone, limbs

Eyes, cognition.

If you don’t comprehend

The very real demon.


My episode put me in

Emerg

Surrounded by afflicted Boomers.

Rustling blue curtains.

Tubes and anti biotic

Smiling gracious nurses

Long on their feet.

Providing their own

Kind of break

To the monotony.


I was lucky.

Part of my foot saved.

In the nick of time.

Lifestyle having to

Change in a regimen

Fueled by desire 

More than duty.
