Heroism

I woke up
thinking I had
testicular cancer.
I was sure of it. At
first the fear was great and
upsetting as I felt around down there
and located what I thought were
several lumps.

But then I thought, what if I became an
expert bow hunter, and my testicular cancer
aided in my bow hunting ability? What if it helped
me kill a superb Buck in the wilderness, a
Buck of great beauty & wisdom & balance,
tasty venison, & this Buck began me,
my life as a famous bow hunter
& fed me, & throughout the state of Wisconsin
my unconscious mind walked superb &
earned me celebrity, friends & glory? And all this
came from my testicular cancer?
