The Raheny-To-Beaumont-And Back-Again-Express Takes A Break
On the road we've been
Every fortnight since April, 2023,
The Oncology Day Ward, 2nd Floor,
The classroom of classrooms,
the school of schools
NDP once again,
(My favourite acronym)
No Disease Progression,
the result of last Thursday's CT scan
So now,
'Surveillance' is the word
(I imagine a drone/helicopter,
Searchlight on,
Circling, circling,
Eagle-eyeing the terrain of me)
With a CT scan every two months
So stands this grateful so cancer patient:
NDP has granted us a pass for now
And the Raheny-To Beaumont-And-Back-Again-Express
A break.
And for it all,
Deo Gratias.
