two doctors

one

everything's done

by the nurse, you see

whatever you look at

is scanned by her

and He comes in, and read

the summations

give no expectations

and ask to see you 

in half year

no fear in his voice

all ordinary

but the objects that

dance in your eyes

are a concern

will they return?

come back and find out!

(the worst t.v. series

to ever be a part of)

two

Stand up.

Not that way

Push back

Not that way.

Tell me what 

you do in life.

Nothing? 

I find that hard to believe.

 

Where do you work?

Oh, now I see.

What started this off?

Two pails of sand?

Why did you carry them?

I don't understand

You are old, and you think

that you are young.

I see.

(not asking, just telling

it's nothing to me

i've become used to

not being understood

humour is my game

deflection is all good)

Do these exercises.

Here is an app.

Let's meet every week

and see where you're at.

(when did this turn into

a fable by dr seuss?

this doctor is female

and not ever on the loose)

Wait, why are you still hurting?

There's a pail at the house

that you have to carry water in

from kitchen to bathroom?

(the tale of two pails)

I..i..is it a full pail of water?

H..h..how often do you have 

to do this?

(no questions on why, 

no questions on what,

which was merciful.)

Well, try to make more trips

with less water in pail.

Or get someone else to

carry them for you.

Now, here's how to

rest your head as you lay

in the night using rolled

up towel and soft pillow.

This will help you sleep.

This will help with the

persistent headaches.

This will he....oh, the insomnia

and the headaches were before

the pails? 

I see.

Well, do the exercises

and look at the app.

We'll work with what we have

and make your neck better.

I must ask, however,

I know you're masked, 

but is that your worried face

or are you deep in thought?

(or am i crying?

or is it residual "scanxiety"

from battles from long ago?)

Oh, just listening. I see.

See you soon.
