tells me that i'm as healthy
as a horse.
i ask him
what that means.
horses don't get sick?
horses
never get a bug,
or break a leg,
or get the mumps?
he takes
the cold stethoscope
off my chest and smiles.
i just mean that you
are very healthy.
you're in good shape.
but what's with the horse
reference?
you mean that
if i am not healthy, you
are going to take
me out into
the field and shoot me?
do i look like
a horse to you?
do i eat hay,
am i wearing a saddle
or pulling a wagon?
ever see me at the Kentucky Derby?
settle down, settle down,
he says.
calm down,
your blood pressure is
going up.
