some stories never end up happy
this may be the case when it comes to our former temporary
boss whose medical problems just got worse
this week he learned that the treatment he had for cancer
had caused a problem with his jaw bone, a flaking of the bone which will likely
require surgery to cure and could even result in the need to replace the jaw
all this ahead of the treatment that his cancer might return
at any time. it is impossible to say whether our poet gave him the cancer since
things of this kind take decades to incubate but since she had the precancerous
condition that causes the kind of cancer he got it is possible
this only compounds
our former temporary bosses misery since he is forced to suffer through this
terrible medical nightmare while our poet goes on with her life apparently
unaffected by her own disease at least she got over it
unaffected is the wrong word since she is suffering a slow
decline of her own from both an attempted cure and from a spoiled romance that
she is still suffering
but if our former temporary boss is in as bad situation as
it seems, it is extremely unjust, unfair. when he really is also in love with
her and pursues something that is beyond him.
Even though she may be sympathetic, it is unlikely that she
will feel much about his love other than at a distance.
She appears to have reinvented herself again at least come
to some settlement with that nagging inner voice she does her best to ignore
but it always buzzes in the background as painful and it's ranting as our
former temporary bosses cancer
how all is will play out is anybody's guess since the story
like all stories goes on even when some of the players fall out of it.
what amazes me however is the great impact she has had on
everyone. all of the people around her, changing all of our lives from this
short acquaintance, a landscape littered with the emotionally wounded people
who will never really recover and will never get over her and possibly never
want to
