the dermatologist

the doctor points
what looks
like a drill to your head
and blasts
you with
a cold sting of liquid nitrogen.
that mole
will drop
off in a week, she says,
eating a sandwich
from the other hand.
what's that on the side
of your nose,
she says.
blasting your nose with
the cold
liquid. oh that's where
my sunglasses sit.
it's a callous.
oh. well, whatever.
that should come
off in a day
or two.
anything else you need
frozen off of you?
nah, I'm good.
