Lying to the doctor

Lying to the doctor
again. 
My vision is normal.
I don't lose sensation. 
And I can catch my breath
without breaking a sweat. 
I can't even answer 
about palpitation!
'Cause all of the questions 
you're asking of me. 
A checklist of things I don't want
to know! 
Not gonna look it up on the internet.
Hypochondria is easy to catch,
you know

In fact, I'm lying
about going to 
the doctor at all. 

I haven't been to see her 
in years and years 
of unbroken, unbent, unbowed health.
There's really no point going 
if you're just going to lie,
I fear
