we need to lower your cholesterol
and get
you back on
a good diet.
fruits and vegetables.
leafy greens.
oranges, that sort of thing.
we see plaque
in your x-ray, calcium
deposits.
your arteries are like a plumbing
pipe full
of you know what.
no more fried chicken, yo!
who is this, i say on the phone,
surprised that my
doctor would actually call me.
you need to exercise more,
she says,
nine hours a day isn't enough.
and you need to find a way
to lower your stress.
i exhale.
okay.
okay. quit nagging me.
i make a stress reduction list.
divorce, done.
stop dating.
take only the plumb jobs at work.
sleep more.
massages
and more frequent sex.
under that i put, buy
oranges
and call Escort Service.
