WHAT'S IT LIKE,

HAVING AN M-R-I?

Describing my MRI experience yesterday . . .

they slide your body into the slender opening

of this massive machine (with inches to spare),

ask you to remain still for 30-minutes,

and warn you that it's a "noisy experience."

OK, I've got a better explanation . . .

it's like pushing a plump green bean

into a soda straw that's too thin,

and setting off firecrackers and machine gun fire,

while you do your best to "remain still."

I get the results of my MRI pictures later today.
