you're looking well

some are always
sick.

the leg, the arm,
the head.

the gut.

the hair falling out.
the knees

sore. they point at a kidney
and wince.

or a scar,

and they never fail
to tell
you so once asked,

to pull out an x-ray,
or form,

from a doctor.
you learn in time to not

ask how are?

instead you say, good to see
you.

you're looking well.
