The cancerous cell

Turns a page and then another page.

It can't put the book down. It reads

Faster and faster. It will read

Through the night until the story 

Is finished. The doctor says

Don't worry, we have ways to cure

Its obsession, stop it from going on, turn

It towards a different ending, its own.

The book of your body won't be

Read in a single night, in a few

Months, in a year. It will go on and on

Like an epic, until it has exhausted

Itself, and all possibilities, with its 

Knowledge, until it has taken in 

Enough worlds to become a universe.
