by Wanda Morrow Clevenger<\/p>\n

morning bedsheet weighs a ton on same-old
\nhard to face no matter the season with same
\nknee pinch neck grind jaw pop joint ache, but<\/p>\n

one day the insurance will reinstate and
\noh, the thought to shop QVC cures and sample
\ndesigner hormones blowing breast cancer scare
\noff the catwalk<\/p>\n

and first thing the eyeballs hurt;
\nthe doctor says glaucoma can’t be felt
\none day sight and the next, WHAM, he says
\nfor emphasis, HELEN KELLER
\nso keeping up the exams is crucial, your
\nthicker corneas are built-in protection but
\nthey produce high readings, false readings
\nso regular exams are crucial
\nremember, WHAM, he says 4 times a year<\/p>\n

it’s criminal the bedsheet weighs in that
\nonly and the truly afflicted and Rosanne Barr
\nqualify for medical marijuana<\/p>\n
