young doctors

how much
can this young doctor really
know
about me. ten years
of school, pffft.
i've been
self medicating for years,
diagnosing,
mending
cuts
and bruises,
setting bones.
i've found
garlic to be great help.
turmeric
and chicken soup.
sleep.
and drink.
a borrowed pill or two
to get
me through.
i've done the research,
listened
to my heart,
looked deep
into my mouth
my ears,
my soul.
what could this young
whippersnapper
know.
