| Need to Know by Joy Ladin |
This is what you need to know:
you may be dangerous, fatal, unexplained,
a life-threatening condition, rare but serious,
nauseated by history, bleeding morality, overdosing
on the poisonous specifics of your condition
and the usual emergencies, the usual pain, the usual side effects
of nursing needs you don’t want
and wants you don’t need
and having a brain that can't control
its ulcerated partnership with being
the lesions and fevers
attacking the heart – your heart –
that protects the anemic future
you made up to stop the bleeding.
