THREE DAYS

Clank and whir, and a few clandestine noises. Hold your breath, don't move, okay move. Take off your necklace. Here, wear this. It plays my music station. 30 minutes he assures me. Clunk and whir and clunk again. This won't hurt a bit (yeah, famous last words). My arm is injected and I become      That Famous Symbol. I'M RADIOACTIVE FOR PETE'S SAKE! Go eat. Drink lots. Come back in 2 hours. Lay down on this table. Hey, I'm a big man and this table is      TWO SIZES TWO SMALL! This will take an hour       intoned the tech. Whoosh, almost no sound. Cameras rotate, bed rises.      Whirrrrrr. I fall asleep. So much for modern technology. There isn't much point to this (poem), 'cause I don't know the results yet. The sounds are still echoing, echoing      in my head. Whirrrr, Whooosh, Kerchunk! It seems like my life depended on those noises. I wait.
