I go
to the doctor today
to inquire
about a obscure condition
that I've probably always had,
but have just noticed.
I suspect he'll tell me
about the 38 million
who have the same problem,
and that one just has
to live with it.
Unless, of course,
I want to try
some medicines
and surgical procedures
and trade one symptom
for another.
So he gets a pretty penny
for a few minutes with me,
and I get the satisfaction
of discovering that I'm mortal
and I can choose to
live with my body
the way it is,
or go to extreme measures
to turn it in for
another body
whose owner
will surely
have equally minute complaints.
PLEASE COMMENT: WHOSE BODY IS YOURS?
