It seems so calm,
so understated,
this disintegration of my life
which comes with official notification.
“Evidence of malignancy" . . .
The words stay
steady on the page,
the only constant
as the world's axis shifts.
Nothing will ever be the same again
as I discover
the old philosophers were right -
The world is flat.
And I have fallen off the edge.
