1.

Puke green, Compazine.

Little white ladies, Nolvadex

Speckled Cytoxan

Take these and these

and maybe these

if you need them.

Your Hair might fall out.

You may gain twenty pounds.

We cannot say.

We cannot say if they'll work.

You'll be okay

unless you start dying.

Puke green Compazine.

Little white ladies, Nolvadex

Speckled Cytoxan.

2.

How are you?

"I'm all right," I say.

We both agree

I will not say

how I really am today.

3.

Chemotherapy will fix you up,

if it doesn't kill you,

but no matter what your lot,

you can be sure they'll bill you.
