which would you rather
your body or your head?
to be poisoned
fighting for your last breath
which do you think
is harder
your body or your head?
which would you rather
what sickness do you dread?
i can live with tar
but i couldn’t stomach the meds
i can cry the stickiness out
but i couldn’t live with stitch after stitch
i can fight my own head
but i couldn’t shrink in a bed
which would you rather?
inescapable dark breaths
which would you rather
the taste of bleach or hospital beds?
would would you rather
your thoughts
your cells fighting the red?
which would you rather
your body or your head?
to be poisoned
fighting for your last breath
both coming from inside
but nothing alike
which do you think is harder?
which sickness do you dread?

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

If you are talking about the healthcare system, seems it is collapsing everywhere. Great Insight.
