health

1857

after dieting
the old appetites come back
mindless as locusts

are they all surgeons
everyone wearing a mask

my doctor’s serious
ignores my sense of humor
I’m the joking dead

my doctor does not
change her opinion
eat less and walk more

overhaul the pump
how much longer will it last
doctor’s appointment

the doctor’s office
ninety-two year old woman
pushes her son’s chair

hearts attack no one
long suffering and abused
until they fight back

slinky sliced-up jeans
she takes a long drag– exhales
are kids still doing this

not my abstract heart
but the real one— letters
from the health clinic

the ultra-sound tech
she listens to what my heart
is really saying

rain unclogs the spouts
flow is everything
in this aging house

old house
clogged, leaky pipes
cholesterol test

every six AM
the beat of joggers
destroying their knees

given up threesomes
with ben & jerry
my resolution

mixed marriage
smoker and non-smoker
guess who dies first
