More Dubrow

By Johnathon Williams on Sep 15, 2009

If you like Jehanne Dubrow’s poem at Linebreak today, you’ll want to check out “Vitamin M,” her wonderful essay at Brevity:

Away from the ship, away from my parents, Jeremy and I try to find a mean between ignoring health and embracing hypochondria.  It is one of the many compromises that marriage has forced on us.   Jeremy has learned to visit the dermatologist, whenever I panic about a dark spot the size of a pinhead, which may appear on his neck one day in August.  And I have learned how to avoid flu season, thinking myself into a stronger, sturdier body, one immune to sneezes and mucus.  I have learned that a brief history of bowel movements does not make for good conversation.
