Breast Cancer Awareness

Every 3 hours i get 3 texts,

My boss is aggravating,

3 reports due by 12AM,

Arguing with my man,

All the time,

Texting, arguing, back and forth,

walking down the boulevard,

I see my neighbors from the penthouse next door,

accepting their dinner invitation tonight,

the sewer stench creeps up my nostrils,

building E218, my destination,

Sign my name,

Lounging, waiting for my turn,

Thinking 'bout all the work I have in store,

Waiting for me at home,

Along with my man,

JESSICA! my doctor calls,

I scurry, scurry

Asking him to hurry,

3 deadlines to meet,

I must be on my way,

Thinking "Hurry doc, I don't have all day"

"Your mammogram came in" he says

Silence........

I have 3 deadlines! i thought,

"You have breast cancer" he said,

My life flew past me like NASCAR,

12AM deadline,

My man is waiting,

I have 3 deadlines tonight,

I must be on my way
