the dry martini

the x-rays come back
and the doctor
holds them up to lighted
screen
oh my, he says.
hmmm.  and hmmm, again.
i say what?
what is it?  how long
do i have?
give it to me straight doc.
i can take it.
oh nothing he says.
shrugging.
nothing important.
but after seeing all these
green olives in you
i thought that after
work i too might have
a dry martini.
