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
