Kevin's Cancer

There are no indisputable histories of Christmas

Playing possum in a PO box

With the key I'll receive in good time

Or vague, indefinite afterlife scenarios

On loop laying true

Unnoticed, deep in the rustiest back silos of my mind

No I know with no uncertainty

That I'm uncertain and I don't know

I know with no uncertainty

Kevin's cancer said

You say I should pray that Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey

Would stay above me

But for all this chaos and dread

I need not one cloth on my head

To hold it all in with

And so I go without a care

Head bare and somehow I'm still here

Lay your mother's dread in her grave

Savor the gift and behave in it's midst

Oh I know with no uncertainty

That I'm uncertain and I don't know

I know with no uncertainty
