The Capitol

So the "What if" answer came as I walking down by the Capitol building with a group of friends for lunch. Jan 06. The day before my father's birthday.   "It's cancer" the doctor said. The world around me went silent. I felt like I was in a slow motion film. Or a silent one with Charlie Chaplin. All I need were the signs in between the screens to indicate what was going on: ("Happy birthday, Pop. Oh, by the way, I have breast cancer." Yeah, not so much.).. I believe in serendipity. Needless to say Janese, Taz and I had an emotional lunch in the ladies bathroom. America has the song "A horse with no name." That's me right now. In a desert. Blinded. Better yet, the Beatles "Across the Universe"..Nothing's gonna change my world. My ex told me that she didn't think I had time to have cancer. She's right. I don't. But yet, I have to say I don't think it has completely hit me yet. I feel extremely detached from it. I don't know if this is normal...
