Cancer Dancing

Is there any way
In which they may be
Enjoying themselves?

Multicellular
Organisms have
Fun all kinds of ways,

But at the level
Of cells? Of rogue cells?
The way they carry

On jousting, evolving,
Racing each other,
Dodging all the ways

Death comes after them,
The body’s patrols,
The surgeon’s scalpel,

The chemical bombs,
The radiation
Punching holes in them,

Still partying on,
Finding new places
To land and invade,

There must be a kind
Of joy to it all,
The small lives lived large.
