Explosion of Anger over cancer

loaded civil war cannon
with gunpowder mixed with purple anger
schredded medical bills printed in cold red blood
lab reports cold facts on rye
cat scans with dark shadows of the past
crushed confetti compressed into a cannon mixed with chocolate buckshot
i aimed the cannon
out the window and fired into times square below
a hot branding iron stamped "CURED"
hiding the cancer tatoo branded into my hide
I fired the cannon with the sound of sulfure mixed with whispers
explosion of rage into the street
white snow falling on a parade of cancer patients
returning home
after another chemo treatment
