On a Scale of One to Ten

Having had both, I can assure you that
a breast cancer diagnosis
is much worse than a
(possibly) sprained ankle,

obviously.

But perhaps because cancer
is far more serious
and takes up so much air in the room
that there isn’t much left to spend

on petty irritations…

…it turns out that
I find the ankle far more

AGGRAVATING.
