ANN: We dream of a place where ‘terminal’ is just a building where you take off and fly, and where ‘radiation’ simply means food from the sun.
We long for a place where ‘cobalt’ is just an ore of silver-gray, where ‘mass’ is something you hear on Sundays, and where ‘ICU’ really means ‘we’ll see each other again’.
We hope for a place where ‘CT scan’ means surveying the capital. Where ‘the Big C’ is a great expanse of blue.
Where ‘stage 4’ is just a place where one performs and meets praise.
A place where ‘remission’ means absolutely, positively, finally just that.
This is our dream. Help us fight for it.
