Dealing with Crohn's

Another day in paradise
If it isn't crippling pain
that makes me groan
and curl up into a ball
Then it's a long slow
string of unending trips
to the bathroom.
Tenusmus that's it's
clinical name
but I call it
life as I know it.
A feeling of
incomplete defecation.
Aren't doctors the
real poets of our age?
Then of course
if I'm truly cursed
then I'll get
both together
which I lovingly
call "The Purge"
