Things you need to do/when it strikes
find all your spare
glasses you will lose things mark the end date
on your calendar tell everyone
get onto the association for your
disease find out
how much of the
dastardly element
you will have to feel/touch/eat/huff
daily until then take a few sleeps
for the first
days remember
this is how your life
was before
you knew
on the third day rise
go around the room and
get the clothes rearranged put the long things
that disguise
your
pain/bloat/pads/bleeding
all together it
will help
the weeks pass when you get
dressed
as yourself each day
take care adorn the bed in flannel slips something to soak up
what may leak from you
plan your meals this body is a queen a figurehead
on a ship in heavy
seas rope the lifeboats to
her
tightly
carry a duck
blame it
for the lot
