Side Effects

The cancer I have, so the test results say,
requires interventions whose side effects may
include inconveniences such, inter alia,
as shrinking of genitals, erectile failure,
incontinence (single or possibly double).

a longer allowance of years on the earth
in which still to live, love and strive to be happy
while wearing — no shame — a disposable nappy.’
