WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT A HEART ATTACK

pain fills the page so you cannot turn it to go on with the story ... till the words seem to say that for you this is the end of the story ... the whole story on this last page the end of it and all the parts that went before ... but if you couldn't close the book someone else took it away ... the pain was gone the story went on as if it hadn't been in the book ... as if it were back to living on its own ... and that would have been the time to forget about it about the book and the end of the story as if you had the power that is to do it ... but you find you've been outvoted the council has stepped in you're just the lame duck in the side office ... the new staff moving in ...a directive a mandate ... you now a man being moved to a purpose ... step by serial step you give your formal consent ... we'll give you five umbrellas or open-heart surgery give you a choice with the first option withdrawn ... who needed it anyway this is no more time for options no more thought for choices ... ask for a priest it will be an afterthought ... confess your sins ... all these years and they still don't amount to much ... they pale beside the penance and the bread on Holy Thursday
