waiting on the x rays

the doctor
is examining my x rays.

she's at the beach though.
and
is getting grease
on the photos.

she's eating chicken.
a box of fried dark meat
between her stretched
out legs.

she holds up the x rays
to the sun.

hmmm.
she says.
i should call him at some
point
and tell him to stay

off those knees for awhile.
she slurps
her drink, the long straw
in her mouth,

then closes her eyes.
