Klaus came home from the doctor
He wasn’t very happy
His mom was crying
He told me he had tumor in his head
The doctor said it was as big as a lemon
It wasn’t good
We sat in silence for a minute or two
I said
“At least it’s not as big as an orange’
He smiled
Then I said
‘Or as big as a grapefruit’
And he giggled a little
Then I said
‘Or a watermelon’
And then the two of us really laughed
And we went thru all the food groups
Just imagining his tumor being different food sizes
And laughing and laughing and laughing
Then Klaus went quiet
His eyes rolled back into his head
And he collapsed
He lay totally still
I waited a minute
It was weird and way too quiet
So I left and went to the mall
And wandered around looking at food
