all is well

if i was a doctor

i'd only want to have healthy

people as patients.

no x-rays needed.

no hearing from worried faces

how it hurts here

when i do this with my arm.

no opening of mouths

to look in, or ears.

the second they got sick

i'd get rid of them.

no dying,

no limping into the office.

no pills to prescribe.

no irregular heartbeats.

who needs that kind of trouble.

who needs the drama

of illness?

just give me

those without a problem,

those with no issues.

i'd only want to hear the words,

hello and goodbye,

and all is well.
