They found a tumor
in Rosa’s head.
A disk the size
of a baseball
behind her ear.
Rosa’s not the first
I’ve heard of
with a mass
in her body
that doctors describe as
an ordinary object
Two I knew
had tumors the size of
grapefruits in their uterus
then there are the
pea-sized ones
in the breast
Melanomas
the size of dimes
If ever I have a tumor
I hope they consider
other objects
more extraordinary
pomegranates
edamame beans
a 10 thebe piece.
Rosa had a tumor
the size of a
shuttlecock.
