On the afternoon of May 30, 2003, my sister Morgan began to complain of a stomachache. Heedless of her pain, I tried to cheer her up by pouncing on her in bed. A few hours later, she was diagnosed with appendicitis, thus beginning the summer of morphine. Morgan was shuffled back to the hospital and between various doctors for the next several months, all the while suffering from an absessed appendix. To ease her pain, Morgan was given a clicker that periodically injected morphine directly into her bloodstream. In a more tame attempt to cheer her up, I wrote a poem and read it to my bed-ridden sister. Eventually she healed up and in 2005, Katherine adapted my poem and put it to music. Morgan has since kicked her addiction and has moved on to wine and cheese.
