More Marfan Haiku from Bryan Jones

I    am    a    tall    man.
It    is    ex    pec    ted    that    i
lift   hea    vy    ob    jects.

the right eye saw spots.
one little spot, one big spot.
now it does not see

some days it is hard
to think about my future
i really want one

they don't want health care
"the american people"
they want cheap oil

Lower my taxes,
pave the roads. Raise my taxes,
build a hospital.

"We should let her play."
"No, it could cut short her life!"
