I'm Sorry, It's a Brain Disease - Cassandra Kaul

I’m Sorry, It’s a Brain Disease

The tests were done a week ago,
And these ten minutes have become
A lifetime.

Little stuffed wolves line the walls;
Precious, fuzzy, smiles forced
Onto beastly faces.

There are no smiles in this
Monochromatic hell-hole.
This is the doctor’s office.

As the doctor walks in
The beasts bleed back into the walls.
I don’t know what I want to hear.

Anything but this.
