Imagine the aches and pains
of a hundred patients
told with hands waving, pointing
complaining in groans
from the doctor’s touch
but do they say anything about
that stumble they had the moment
they were struck by an unusual feeling
their difficulty catching breath
that mental blockage and emotional
fire that rose in them
it’s odd behavior, getting ready
to fall in love, clinging with both hands
then five fingers then one
letting go, would they try to explain
to him the healthy measurements
of blood sugar and pressure
their relaxed and happy
out-of-character look
he might press you to know
what’s changed but would
you, will you?
remember his curiosity could be
linked to his own mighty need
as it is about this oddly new you
