I'm All Yours

I go to my favorite doctor,

she says without hesitation,
take off your clothes.

she examines me
from the head
down
to my toes. she weighs me.

checks the reflexes by tapping
each knee.

cough she says.
bend over, blow your nose.
say ahh.

let me listen to your heart.
put my hand
in yours, lets see that pulse,

the blood pressure, too.

let's take some blood.
look into
those ears.

now kiss me, she says,
and take one
of these each day.
she hands me a bag of
sweet
sugar candies, heart shaped,

each one saying
i'm yours.
