Didn't know Bryan had more Marfan haiku, did you?

i can't lift my wife.
because of this, my heart cries
it knows i blame it

please sit in the chair
drop... blink, blink... cover this eye
how many letters?

mitral valve prolapse
blood gushes through, dribbles back
where's the oxygen?

seen across the room
you look like someone i should tell
it might save your life

eyes, heart, lungs, spine, hips,
but not soul, thank god, thank god
connective tissue

(Marfan BASIC)
10 let me be young
20 warn me of the risk
30 time to pay

if only i were
fatter, shorter, uglier
ready for Oprah?

in the beginning
the tissue stretched and returned
now it misbehaves
