Acceptable Risks Poem by June Stepansky
Acceptable Risks
My doctor says
“I think you
should take estrogen
to prevent osteoporosis
and heart attack.”
I buy my prescription,
but before taking it
I read the label:
may cause increased risk
of breast and uterine cancer,
may cause blood clots,
pain, dizziness, nausea.
I pour some pills
into my palm.
I hold them for a while,
and then
I swallow them.
