 poetry JOY OF CANCER by Yuki Jackson My mother said she considers her cancer like it's catching a cold
She declared her radiation treatment is like strengthening tire rubber for the road
I laughed and said Cancer has made you into a cyborg!

FORMAL by Yuki Jackson Button-down shirt each round disc sewn being held by a hole
Formal attire worn to show we’re put together
Underneath tank top wife-beater with pit stains yellow.
