MISPLACED KIDNEYS
my kidneys are in a strange place,
the doctors said
when i was born,
then told my parents that it would be something to observe
and make note of,
possibly address at a future date,
and when i came of age,
my mom sat me down and said, sternly,
your kidneys are misplaced?
so i asked where they had gone,
to which my mom shrugged, and then basically said
it was no longer her problem,
now that she had disclosed the issue to me to deal
with,
but i thought instead i could just tell you and
you’d make something of it,
so, can you help?
