Gut Buster

Charles Michael Craven

stomach cramps
keep me down
even on a sunny day
even for the Super Bowl
even for fornication.

it is my parents
my drill sergeant
my girl that has me whipped.

it is my stomach condition
my Chrone’s Disease
my colon.

more red than most
I almost wish it was cancer,

there’s a cure for cancer
my only hope is menopause.

the Man upstairs has a sense of humor
if we like it or not.
