#217: TUMOR

I.

the manifestation

on holiday

of an old disease

you thought was behind you

whatever it is
your vacation
is at an end

if flights are still flying out
you better grab
one

because the redactions are spreading fast

II.

redacting things that make no difference
a clever ruse

like sabotaging
the crossword
--a terrorist act

which is much like yourself
a symptom, in point of fact

III.

like a tumor:
whatever it is a symptom of
it represents the triumph
of the whole manifestation
of the old disease
