Realization
Why is the tumor so dark in the pictures?
How long has it been there?
How big is it?
Does it have cousins?
What does it want?
Can I reason with it?
Why does it have the best real estate?
I have dinner plans on Thursday.
I don’t have time for this.
Response: “blah blah blah.”
This was not on the itinerary.
It is just unacceptable.
If my excursion is cut short,
I want to be compensated for the loss.
And I want at least ten extra column inches in the newspaper –
Above the fold.
